There’s a reason the C414 has been a studio mainstay since 1971. The AKG C414 XLS Condenser Microphone delivers a combination of versatility, detail, and sound quality like few other microphones can. Every subtlety and nuance in your source audio is captured flawlessly by the C414 with pristine reproduction and almost no self noise.
Don’t lose the sound you love. Replicate what you hear with stunning realism. When you record with the Shure SM81, it’s like holding a mirror to your instrument. The mic’s uniquely flat frequency response means there’s absolutely no colouration to your sound. No misrepresentation. Just an authentic reflection of the sound in front of you.
