A Reinvented Classic Condenser Mic — Plus an On-par Stand & Mic Cable!

There are few microphones that are as widely revered and desired by collectors as the famous AKG C12 large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Part of what made the C12 an industry standard in the 1950s was its impressive versatility, with nine remotely selected polar patterns. AKG has brought the C12's flexibility to the twenty-first century with the 9-pattern C414 XLII. In this AKG C414 XLII package deal, you get the sonically versatile and reliable C414 XLII, plus a sturdy K&M mic stand and a gold-pin 25-foot Mogami XLR studio mic cable.

A worthy successor to the throne

The C414 XLII emulates the spatial reproduction capability of the legendary AKG C12 microphone, while introducing some astonishing additional features. In addition to the warmth, clarity, and presence of the C12, the C414 XLII has nine settings with selectors located on the housing (rather than being remotely selectable) for choosing an appropriate polar pattern. The C414 XLII's lock mode disables all controls for live sound applications or permanent installations, and you also get three discrete low-cut filters to clean up your audio. The AKG C414 XLII comes complete with a carrying case, a pop filter, a windscreen, and a spider-type shockmount.

Support your C414 XLII with a great boom stand

Sweetwater has paired the C414 XLII with a professional-quality, heavy-duty stand/boom combination consisting of the K&M 201A/2 tripod floor stand and K&M 211/1 telescopic boom. The boom is made with a rock-solid t-bar locking screw that won't drift once it's set, and the stand has a high-quality clutch that holds the stand's height for your whole gig or studio session.

Mogami Gold — pro performance, amazing value

Whether you're recording or performing live, you need cables that let you capture the full impact of your source. That's what you get with Mogami Gold. For decades, top audio engineers worldwide have chosen Mogami cabling for its superior audio clarity, low-loss signal transfer, astonishingly low noise, and consistent manufacturing quality.

Outstanding mic at a great price!

I am a home recorder, and professional guitarist/vocalist. I want to get back to more writing and recording so I picked up several studio type large condenser microphones. Of course, one of the first things I did was compare them to see if the performance of each was worth the cost. This is not the first AKG 414 I have owned, so I was at least basically familiar with them. The other mics were also phantom powered, and I set them to the same pattern, height, etc for the closest apples to apples comparison I could get. At first listen, results were a bit all over the place... needed to balance gains to get an even volume level. Once done, results weren't terribly surprising, but might not be as immediately apparent as I expected. They all sounded good!

What the AKG C414 XLII shines on is a very clear yet warm sound, with a lot of variation in the air around a source just by varying distance. It doesn't get less clear, it get a bit more transparent... the closer sources sound closer. Very easy to get that brain-image of physical distance going by the sound. While all mics sounded good, this mic gave the best feel of space (even up close). I won't muddy up the review with the other mics (everyone has their faves) but will just say one is a very popular mic, and one is a lesser known copy of a world renowned mic. Mt point is that the quality of the C414 still stands up well to comparison, and to my ear has a very honest and pleasant representation of the source... which is exactly what I want.

Very happy with my purchase, and the deal made with me on it by my Sweetwater sales rep Chris.
