Studio condenser microphone

The AKG C414 XLII is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone built for professional recording and live sound. It ships as a complete kit with shock mount, pop filter, windscreen and carrying case included. Nine selectable polar patterns let engineers match the pickup to any source.

For critical vocal and instrument capture

Singers, studios and sound engineers who need detailed presence and flexible directivity will benefit from the capsule design. Users seeking a simple plug-and-play USB microphone or a rugged handheld for stage vocals should consider a different type of device.

Nine polar patterns with three pads and filters

The microphone provides nine polar patterns, three attenuation levels at minus six, minus twelve and minus eighteen decibels, and three switchable bass-cut filters. An overload warning LED with peak hold shows the shortest transients. All controls can be disabled for permanent installations.
