"For over 60 years, leading musicians and engineers have used legendary AKG microphones to capture their sound so their audience hears every nuance," said Thomas Stubics, product marketing manager for recording and broadcast. "The C 414 family has been one of the world's most widely-used and respected studio and stage microphones in audio history. With the new useful features and even greater ease of use, we are able to answer the demands from our ever-growing customer base all over the world."
The C 414 XLS maintains the sonic character of the C 414 B-ULS, the longest-lived C 414 model. It combines proven reference quality, leading-edge technology and state-of-the-art components.
The C 414 XLII is the successor to the C 414 B-TL II. It shows the sonic signature of the highly sought-after AKG C 12, which enables lead vocals and solo instruments to be placed even in a dense mix. The up-front sound is also well known for distant miking applications like classical music recording or drum ambience miking.
