The AKG C414 XLS Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone is a professional-grade microphone that continues the legacy of the legendary C414 B-ULS, bringing an expanded feature set, enhanced versatility, and modern enhancements to meet the needs of today's studio, stage, and broadcast environments. With nine selectable polar patterns, a wide dynamic range, and a rugged build, the C414 XLS is designed to handle a wide range of recording and live sound applications, providing clear, distortion-free sound in nearly any environment.

At the core of the C414 XLS is its 1" edge-terminated, dual-diaphragm transducer. This advanced technology delivers a highly detailed, linear, and natural tone with a wide frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Capable of handling extremely high sound-pressure levels (up to 158 dB SPL) without distortion, the C414 XLS is well suited for capturing everything from delicate vocals to loud sources such as drums, guitar amplifiers, and brass instruments. It also features low-noise electronic circuitry, providing clean and accurate recordings with an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 88 dB-A.

One of the standout features of the C414 XLS is its flexibility in polar pattern selection. With nine polar patterns available, including cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, hypercardioid, and wide cardioid, you can easily tailor the microphone's pickup to your specific recording environment and sound source. The patterns are virtually frequency-independent, meaning that reflected sound will be reproduced accurately without coloration, ensuring the most natural sound possible. Whether recording vocals, capturing an ensemble, or isolating a single instrument, the C414 XLS provides optimal sound capture with ease.

Additional controls on the C414 XLS include a switchable -6, -12, or -18 dB preattenuation pad, allowing you to record very loud sound sources without distortion. The three switchable low-cut filters (at 40, 80, or 160 Hz) help eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise, rumble, or the proximity effect, ensuring clean and balanced recordings even when miking up close. A peak-hold LED indicator alerts you to any overloading, helping you stay within the microphone's optimal operating range and ensuring distortion-free recordings.

The C414 XLS is designed to be reliable in various environments, with full immunity to electromagnetic and electrostatic interference, making it ideal for use near wireless systems or radio transmitters. Its all-metal body ensures durability, while its high tolerance to humidity and heat makes it perfect for use in challenging conditions. For professional recording environments, the microphone is shipped with a variety of useful accessories, including the H85 universal shock mount, PF80 pop filter, W414 windscreen, and a metal carrying case for easy transport.

Whether you are recording at home, in a project studio, or on a live stage, the AKG C414 XLS is a versatile, high-performance tool that delivers top-notch sound quality, reliability, and flexibility. Its robust feature set and premium sound make it a staple for any serious audio engineer or content creator.
