Akg C 414 XLS
The Akg C414 xls is a large diaphragm studio microphone.
The C414 XLS offers 9 directional choices to perfectly match any recording environment. It features a three-frequency low-cut filter and a three-stage attenuation circuit. For use on stage or in a fixed installation, its controls can be easily disabled to avoid any operating errors. An LED also helps to identify the shortest clipping situation.
The C414 XLS maintains the sonic character of the legendary C 414 B-ULS, the longest running reference model in the series. Designed to achieve a neutral, linear sound, it is the most universal studio microphone of the past decades.
