AKG Acoustics C414B/XLII-ST
Product Description
Especially useful for stereo recordings taken from the far field with the inclusion of useful and often valuable room acoustics.
The matched pairs consist of two microphones that are within 1 dB to each other in sensitivity and also within 1 dB to each other in the range of 300 Hz to 8,000 Hz of the individual frequency response when used in cardioid mode and are selected from a large quantity of individual microphones using the described criteria by using a proprietary computer program.
Using this matched pair for stereo recordings utilizing various techniques will provide for a good and stable balance without frequency-dependent shifting of the stereo panorama.
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 in an attractive carrying case (large Soundtool case).
C 414 B-XL II * 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.
A classic microphone with a distinctive timbre especially designed for recording of solo vocals and solo instruments.
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.
Additional features:
* 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
