Studio Microphone C414 XLII

Premium Multi-Pattern Condenser for Studio Recording

The AKG C414 XLII is a world-class studio condenser microphone offering five selectable polar patterns—cardioid, figure-of-eight, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and wide cardioid—making it one of the most versatile tools in any audio professional's kit. Perfectly suited for vocals, instruments, overheads, and broadcast work, it delivers studio-grade clarity with an ultra-wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response.

Thanks to its exceptional sensitivity (23 mV/Pa) and low self-noise (6 dB-A), every nuance is captured in pristine detail, while the signal-to-noise ratio of 88 dB-A ensures a clean, professional-grade output. Whether in a top-tier studio or a mobile setup, the C414 XLII adapts effortlessly with built-in -6, -12, and -18 dB preattenuation pads, plus bass-cut filters at 40, 80, and 160 Hz to shape sound exactly to your needs.

With a robust 200-ohm electrical impedance and a recommended load impedance of 2200 ohms, this mic maintains balanced, clean signals even across long cable runs. From delicate vocals to high-SPL instruments, the AKG C414 XLII is engineered to meet and exceed your production demands.
