AKG C414B-XLS Condensor Studio Microphone

AKG C414B XLS CONDENSOR MICROPHONE

With the introduction of the NeXt Generation AKG C 414 B-XLS 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.

AKG C414B XLS CONDENSOR MICROPHONE FEATURES

• High sensitivity and extremely low self noise
• Five switchable polar patterns for placement and application flexibility
• Two-color LEDs provide quick visual indication of selected polar pattern and output overload
• Elastic capsule suspension greatly minimizes structurally-transmitted noise from chassis vibration
• H 85 professional shock mount/stand adapter, PF 80 external pop filter and W 414 X external windscreen.

Additional features:

• High sound pressure level capability and wide dynamic range
• Completely immune to electrostatic and electro-magnetic interference from digital gear, computer monitors, etc. thanks to solid metal housing and transformerless output stage
• Three switchable bass cut filters and three pre-attenuation pads with LEDs for quick visual indication
• All switchable components operate in low impedance circuits for ultra-high reliability even in extremely humid conditions
• Optional R 414 remote control unit (available by the end of 2004) offers full control of all switchable parameters via standard microphone cable and 3-pin XLR-type connectors
• Also available in stereo pair.
• The matched pairs consist of two microphones that come closest to each other in sensitivity and frequency response when used in the cardioid mode. The kit includes all the standard accessories of the deluxe package (excluding the PF 80) along with a stereo bar and proof of performance charts.
