Delivering exceptional clarity, ultra-low noise performance, and legendary AKG sonic character, the C414 XLS remains one of the most versatile microphones available for engineers, musicians, podcasters, and content creators across Australia.
Available from Audio Shop Australia, the C414 XLS combines classic AKG performance with modern flexibility through nine selectable polar patterns, advanced overload protection, and highly accurate sound reproduction trusted in studios worldwide.
Professional Studio Performance
Engineered to preserve the legendary sonic signature of the iconic C414 B-ULS, the AKG C414 XLS delivers neutral, highly detailed audio capture with outstanding transparency. Its large-diaphragm condenser design provides exceptional accuracy for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, drum overheads, orchestral recording, podcasting, and voice-over applications.
The microphone?s ultra-low 6 dB-A noise floor and impressive 152 dB dynamic range allow it to perform beautifully in both delicate and high-SPL recording situations. Whether you’re capturing subtle vocal nuances or loud instrument sources, the C414 XLS maintains clarity and precision throughout the entire frequency spectrum.
Nine Selectable Polar Patterns
One of the standout features of the AKG C414 XLS is its remarkable flexibility. The microphone includes nine selectable polar patterns, allowing engineers and creators to adapt quickly to virtually any recording environment or microphone placement requirement.
The C414 XLS includes traditional polar patterns such as omnidirectional, cardioid, hypercardioid, wide cardioid, and figure-eight, along with four additional intermediate settings for even greater control. This versatility makes it ideal for studio sessions, live productions, podcasts, broadcast studios, and professional audio installations.
For users working in professional microphones setups alongside audio interfaces, studio monitor systems, and other pro audio gear, the AKG C414 XLS delivers reference-grade performance suitable for demanding production environments.
Advanced Recording Control
The integrated Peak Hold LED indicator helps detect even the shortest overload peaks, ensuring accurate monitoring during critical recording sessions. Multiple pre-attenuation pad settings and selectable bass cut filters provide additional flexibility when recording loud sound sources or controlling low-frequency buildup.
A locking mode allows the microphone controls to be disabled, making the AKG C414 XLS particularly useful for live sound applications, touring setups, broadcast facilities, and permanent studio installations where reliability and consistency are essential.
