With the introduction of the “NeXt Generation” C 414 B-XL
models, AKG sets new benchmarks for useful features,
improved technical 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 micro-
phone of choice for miking up vocals, grand pianos, percus-
sions, and any other sound sources with complex waveforms.
Five selectable polar patterns allow the microphone to be
used for every recording technique and three bass cut filters
suppress low-frequency noise. Extremely low self noise and
high headroom result in a dynamic range of 134 dB – wider
than that of digital recording equipment.
Complete with spider-type suspension, windscreen, profes-
sional pop filter and individual frequency response printout.
• 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
