Recording
AKG combined the best of classic and present-day technolo-
gies, 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 pro-
vides the same preattenuation pads and bass cut filters as
the C 414 B-XLS and comes complete with windscreen, spi-
der-type suspension, professional pop filter, and individual
frequency response printout.
