AKG C414 XLS Reference Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone AKG

A stage and studio staple redefined with state-of-the-art components and technology.

The AKG C414 XLS condenser microphone offers nine pickup patterns for you to choose the perfect setting for every application. For live-sound applications and permanent installations, all of the AKG C414 mic’s controls can be disabled easily for trouble-free use. A Peak Hold LED displays even the shortest overload peaks.

Its predecessor, AKG’s legendary C414 needs no introduction—it is an audio tool found in most recording studios and has been used on thousands of hit records. It’s been on stage with artists of every musical genre and is also used by leading broadcast facilities the world over. The AKG C414 XLS microphone has been created to be just as popular.

The AKG C414 XLS maintains the sonic character of the legendary AKG C414 B-ULS, the longest-lived AKG C414 model. Engineered for highest linearity and neutral sound, it has been one of the most universal and versatile large-diaphragm microphones for decades. Widely used for accurate, beautifully detailed pickup of any acoustic instrument, the AKG C414 XLS microphone combines proven reference quality, leading-edge technology and state-of-the-art components.

AKG delivers the C414 XLS microphone complete with carrying case, pop filter, windscreen and spider-type shockmount.
