Matching pair of C414B-XL microphones
With the introduction of the NeXt Generation C
414 B-XL 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.
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.
- High sound pressure level capability and wide dynamic range
- Completely immune to electrostatic and
electromagnetic 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 (under
development) offers full control of all switchable parameters via
standard microphone cable and 3-pin XLR-type connectors
