STUDIO/BROADCAST/STAGE
C 414 B-XLS
• Classic large-diaphragm reference microphone
• Five switchable polar patterns for placement
and application flexibility
• Two color LEDs provide quick visual indication
of selected polar pattern and output overload
• Transformerless output stage for distortion-
free low-frequency reproduction
• Also available as a factory-matched
stereo pair
With the introduction of the “NeXt Generation” C 414 B-XL
models, AKG sets new benchmarks for useful features, improved tech-
nical specifications, ease of use and available accessories. All of these
improvements are answers to requests from ever-demanding recording
studios, broadcast stations and concert engineers, but with the
basic sonic character of the legendary C 414 unaltered. It
is the microphone of choice for miking up vocals, grand pianos, percus-
sions, and other sound sources with complex waveforms. Five select-
able polar patterns allow the microphone to be used for every
recording technique and three bass cut filters suppress low-freqen-
cy noise. Extremely low self noise and high headroom result in a
dynamic range of 134 dB – wider than that of digital recording
equipement.
Complete with spider-type suspension, windscreen, professional pop
filter, and individual frequency response printout.
C 414 B-XL II
• Large-diaphragm vocal microphone
with C 12 capsule replica
• All electrical features and specifications
are identical to the C 414 B-XLS
• Transformerless output stage for distortion-
free low-frequency reproduction
• Also available as a factory-matched
stereo pair
• Complete with full range of accessories
in a hard-shell carrying case
AKG combined the best of classic and present-day technologies,
the legendary C 12 transducer capsule and advanced
transformerless FET circuitry. The -XL II version differs
from the -XLS in one major respect: The transducer provides a
similar sound as the popular C 12. Its frequency response
above 4 kHz is the same as that of the classic C 12 with a slight
high-frequency boost. Below 4 kHz, however, the C 414 B-XL II
has an absolutely flat response.
This version of the C 414 is the preferred tool for miking up vocals
and distant miking, e.g., of classical music. It provides the same
preattenuation pads and bass cut filters as the C 414 B-XLS and
comes complete with windscreen, spider-type suspension, profession-
al pop filter, and individual frequenca response printout.
C 4500 B-BC
• Large-diaphragm condenser capsule with car-
dioid pickup and “voice-friendly” tuning
• Unique acoustical design and minimal
proximity-effect
• Integrated pop screen for minimum blowing
noise
• Switchable 20-dB pad and 120-Hz bass roll-off
filter
• Transformerless output circuit ensures zero
susceptibility to RF and EMI
The AKG C 4500 B-BC is a front-address, large-diaphragm
condenser microphone designed for critical on-air broadcast
work as well as for recording of high-SPL instruments such as bass
drum, various brass instruments and guitar amps. Thanks to its inno-
vative acoustical design and patented internal multi-layer pop filter,
the C 4500 B-BC has minimal proximity effect enabling
close-up use without bass build-up and its front-address format makes
it easy to position for best results. Comes complete with H 85
spider-type shock mount, W 4000 windscreen and metal carrying
case.
