AKG C 414 XL II/ST (Demo Deal)

Realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance and excellent quality.  They also require performance consistency and accurate localisation from the pair of microphones.  Therefore, every factory-matched pair has been created from thousands of individual microphones selected by AKG's sophisticated computer-aided matching method.  The result is the highest possible correlation over the whole frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning, three-dimensional recordings.

Features:

• Absolutely perfectly matched stereo pair thanks to AKG's sophisticated computer-aided matching method
• Highest possible correlation over the whole frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity
• Selected from thousands of individual microphones
• Designed, Engineered and Built in Vienna, Austria

The matched pairs consist of two microphones that are within 1 dB to each other in sensitivity and also within 1 dB to each other in the range of 300 Hz to 8,000 Hz of the individual frequency response when used in cardioid mode.  The microphones are selected from a large quantity of individual microphones according to the described criteria by using a proprietary computer program.

Using this matched pair for stereo recordings in various techniques will provide a good and stable balance without frequency-dependent shifting of the stereo panorama.
