AKG C414 XLII Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
The AKG C414 XLII is a premium multi-pattern condenser microphone designed for professional studios, live sound, and high-end recording applications. It offers exceptional clarity, precision, and flexibility for vocals, instruments, and complex sound sources.
With a choice of nine selectable polar patterns, the C414 XLII adapts perfectly to any recording scenario — from solo vocals to ensemble performances, room ambience, and challenging acoustic environments.
The C414 XLII features a capsule design inspired by the legendary AKG C12 (1953), delivering a subtle presence boost, enhanced spatial detail, and an open, natural sound signature ideal for lead vocals and detailed instrument capture.
Built for professional reliability, the microphone includes a peak-hold LED that clearly indicates even the shortest overload peaks, helping engineers avoid distortion during recording and live performance.
For live sound and permanent installations, all front-panel controls can be disabled to prevent accidental changes — making the C414 XLII safe and stable for critical use.
