Allmänt

World-class microphones often come from AKG's workshop. The Austrian brand has long had a rock-solid reputation when it comes to rock-solid studio microphones. The C 414 series has also been around for a long time. This C 414 XLII is the successor to the C 414 B-TL II. Where the C 414 XLII excels is in recording lead vocals and solo instruments.

AKG C 414 XLII: 'cuts through the mix'

Today's pop music sound is a mixing challenge. Due to the large amount of loudness, it is sometimes difficult to bring out the important elements in the mix sufficiently. This C 414 XLII allows you to make gains right from the recording stage: compared to the C 414 XLS, it has a slight presence boost and deep spatial reproduction, reminiscent of the C 12 microphone in character. Whether you want to remotely 'capture' a classical instrument, or record a drum kit in 'ambience': the C 414 XLII does it in a very pronounced way, with extremely low self-noise.

Directional characteristics and adjustability

Like no other, AKG knows the advantages and disadvantages of certain directional characteristics. The C 414 XLII is no less than nine-way adjustable. Omnidirectional, various kidney shapes, figure 8 and four 'intermediate modes' offer the right setting option for any room, setup or instrumentation. Signal levels can also be attenuated, depending on the strength of the sound source. A low-cut filter offers further tuning with the recording target. All settings can be bypassed, for when the C 414 XLII needs to be permanently installed. Those looking for professional quality have world-class in their hands with the XLII.
