No delivery. The AKG C414 XL II large diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphones is the latest iteration of the famous C414 line of microphones. The C414 XLII version differs from the C414 XLS version in one major respect – the capsule. The C414 XLII's slight presence boost and impressive spatial reproduction are both similar to the legendary AKG C12 microphone from 1953. This characteristic response and spatial detailing makes lead vocals and solo instruments stand out, even in a dense mix. This signature upfront sound is also excellent for distant miking applications, making the C414 XLII ideal for classical music or drum ambience miking. This multi-pattern workhorse mic sounds great on just about anything. The C414 XLII offers nine pickup patterns, which enable you to choose the perfect setting for every application. In addition to the five patterns traditionally offered by the C414 (omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-8), you also get four intermediate settings that let you dial in the best in-between pattern to suit your application and environment. I personally use these microphones most often for vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, drum overheads and classical stereo main pairs (due to their high frequency lift and flexible polar patterns). They are incredibly versatile microphones that perform well in countless applications.
