AKG / 3059X00050

The latest model in the legendary C414 series. Equipped with nine directivity settings, a four-position pad, and a low-cut filter, it allows for flexible setup. Its well-balanced sound makes it ideal for vocals, instruments, and as an ambient microphone. It has firmly established itself as an all-around microphone. It also comes with a full range of accessories, including a dedicated case, shock mount, pop filter, and windscreen.

While the C414 XL II inherits the sound characteristics of the AKG/C12, the C414 XLS faithfully reproduces the sound quality of the C414B ULS, the most highly acclaimed model in the C414 series.

[Key Features]
- The C414 XLS has minimal coloration and an extremely flat, neutral frequency response, capturing the recording source ""as is"" and ""faithfully.""
- Its extremely balanced sound from high to low frequencies captures every subtle nuance and overtone, delivering a realistic sound that makes you feel as if you're listening to a performance right in front of you.
- Its minimal character has the great advantage of making it easier for the engineer to adjust the sound to their intended tone during post-recording mixing and mastering.
- Its high sound pressure resistance allows it to be used with confidence when recording loud instruments such as drums, guitar amps, and brass instruments.
- Extremely low self-noise ensures clear, low-noise sound even when recording sensitive sources or in quiet environments.
- Equipped with a four-stage low-cut filter, it effectively eliminates unwanted low-frequency noise (such as air conditioning noise, vibration, and proximity effect).
- By positioning the two diaphragms closely together and parallel to each other, the proximity effect is minimized, enabling clear sound pickup across the entire frequency range.
