A studio classic, voiced for vocal reproduction and distance miking of instruments.
Based on the C 414 studio workhorse, the AKG C 414 B-XL II Condenser Microphone has many refinements including a vastly improved capsule shockmount; 1" diaphragm; and 5 switchable polar patterns: omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure 8. 2-color LEDs indicate polar pattern and output overload. 3 switchable bass cut filters and 3 preattenuation pads with LEDs offer quick reference. 20Hz-20kHz frequency range. 88dB, A-weighted SNR. It produces the distinctive timbre of the classic C414 and adds presence to vocals and distantly mic'd instruments. Requires phantom power.
