The AKG C414 XLII Muti-Pattern Microphones are designed for the recording of lead vocals and solo instruments in studio and on stage. This stereo pair is ideal for stereo recording applications and offers a choice of nine polar patterns for the perfect sonic capture in every situation!
The AKG C414 XLII Muti-Pattern Microphone offers the classic C12 microphone sound. A peak hold LED displays even the shortest overload peaks. For live sound applications and permanent installations, all controls can easily be disabled for trouble-free use. The C414 XLII version differs from the C414 XLS version in one major respect – the capsule. The AKG C414 XLII's slight presence boost and impressive spatial reproduction are both similar to the legendary AKG C12 microphone from 1953.

WORKHORSE
Apr 18th 2014A studio standard. Can be used on literally everything. Also, it is very versatile. Every studio needs a pair of these. Granted, they don't sound like Neumann 184s but they get the job done.
