AKG C414 XL II – An Overview, Plus Stereo Recording

Since the late 1950s, the AKG C414 has proved itself time and time again on numerous hit records.

One of the latest incarnations, the XL II model, has a capsule based on the eponymous C12. This gives it a presence boost making it great for lead vocals and anything else needing a little help in the 5kHz range.

Here, I describe the main features of the mic, and indeed show a few of the stereo setups you can use with a matched pair.

Are you wavering on buying a pair? Don’t! You know it makes sense..
