AKG C414 XLII

Static studio microphone with variable directivity

- Exceptional dynamic range of 152 dB. Each switch position and the presence of distortion at the output are now indicated by a diode.
- A switchable low-cut filter: 40 Hz or 80 Hz (12dB / Oct) or 160 Hz (6dB / Oct)
- A switchable attenuator: -6dB, -12 dB, -18 dB
- Its robustness and resistance to humidity are reinforced by an innovative design of the switches
- Output stage without transformer and metal housing contribute to total immunity to electrostatic and electromagnetic interference
- Supplied in a metal case, with suspension, foam cover and pop filter
- This version of C414 is characterized by an accentuation of appreciable presence on distant sound recordings and / or requiring more brilliance: voice, brass instruments, jazz piano, large orchestral formations.
