AKG C414 XLII is the successor of the famous C414 B-TL II. AKG C414 XLII shows the unique sonic signature of the highly sought after AKG C12 which enables lead vocals and solo instruments to be placed even in a dense mix. AKG C 414 XL II offers 9 pickup patterns for you to choose the perfect setting for every application.
The unrivalled up-front sound of AKG C414 XLII is also well-known for distant miking applications like classic music recording or drum ambience miking. For live-sound applications and permanent installations, all controls can be disabled easily enablin trouble-free use. A Peak Hold LED displays even shortest overload peaks. The XL II version differs from the XLS version in one major respect – the capsule. Both, the slight presence boost and the impressive spatial reproduction is similar to the legendary C 12 microphones.
