AKG C-414 XLS studio microphone

AKG C-414 XLS

The C414 XLS multipattern condenser microphone offers a choice of nine polar patterns for the perfect sonic capture for every application. A peak hold LED displays even the shortest overload peaks. For live-sound applications and permanent installations, all controls can easily be disabled for trouble-free use.
The C414 XLS maintains the sonic character of the legendary C414 B-ULS, the most popular AKG C414 version since 1971. Engineered for highest linearity and neutral sound, it has been the most versatile large-diaphragm microphone for decades.

Features:

• Engineered for highest linearity and neutral sound for beautifully detailed recording of vocals and any acoustic instrument
• Nine selectable polar patterns for the perfect setting for every application
• Three attenuation levels (-6,-12,-18dB) for close-up recording or high-output sources of up to 158dB SPL
• Three different switchable bass-cut filters to reduce wind noise, subsonic noise or proximity effect
• Overload warning with audio peak hold LED to detect shortest audio peaks
