AKG C411 PP - Miniature Condenser Pickup Microphone with 8 Polar Patterns and 10Hz to 18kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG C411 PP is a miniature condenser pickup microphone designed specifically for acoustic string instruments, including acoustic guitars, mandolins, and violins. Engineered to deliver a natural, uncolored reproduction of the instrument's sound, the C411 PP offers professional-level performance for musicians and sound engineers who require high-quality, accurate amplification for acoustic instruments in both live and studio environments.

At the heart of the C411 PP is a pre-polarized condenser transducer, which allows it to pick up the vibrations from the instrument with exceptional clarity and fidelity. With an audio frequency response spanning from 10Hz to 18kHz, the C411 PP captures a wide range of tones, ensuring that even the most subtle nuances of your instrument are faithfully represented. The microphone's figure-eight polar pattern is ideal for picking up vibrations across the instrument's surface, capturing both direct sound and reflections for a rich, full sound profile.

For easy and non-invasive attachment to your instrument, the C411 PP comes with a non-marking, solvent-free adhesive pad. This allows the microphone to be securely placed on or near the bridge of the instrument without altering its natural balance. This feature ensures that the microphone can be used in live performances or recording situations without compromising the acoustic properties of the instrument itself.

The microphone also includes a durable MPAV standard 3-pin XLR male connector, ensuring reliable, high-quality connectivity to your audio system. Powered by a phantom power supply between 9V and 52V, the C411 PP provides the convenience of plug-and-play operation with any standard audio interface, mixer, or preamp equipped with phantom power.

The compact design of the C411 PP makes it highly versatile and unobtrusive, with a plastic body in a matte black finish that blends seamlessly with your instrument. The microphone comes with a 10-foot cable, providing ample length for performance or studio use. It also includes a protective microphone bag, ensuring safe transport and storage when the microphone is not in use.

Whether you're performing live, recording in the studio, or amplifying acoustic instruments in other settings, the AKG C411 PP provides exceptional sound capture with minimal interference, making it an invaluable tool for any string instrument player looking for clarity and precision in their sound reproduction.
