General

For years, AKG has been an evocative name in the world of studio microphones. Designed and manufactured in Vienna, the condenser microphones are scattered around top studios worldwide. The C 414 series has been around for a long time and this reincarnation, the C 414 XLS, builds on the merits of the high-quality series. Complete with shockmount, pop filter and windshield, this Austrian studio microphone is the vital link between the performers and your recorder.

AKG C 414: versatile

One of the strengths of the C 414 is its versatility. Nine different modes are available to make the directional characteristic suitable for any situation. From omnidirectional to figure 8 and four "in-between" modes: this large-diaphragm microphone has it all. The sound character leans on that of the legendary C 414 B-ULS, a highly successful predecessor. The 414 XLS offers a modern design, with a linear frequency response and a neutral sound. This makes the 414 a true reference microphone, capturing acoustic instruments extremely naturally.

Adjustability

To efficiently get the right response in the studio, the C 414 XLS features switchable signal levels and low-cut filters. Also, the directional characteristic is knob-adjustable, with an LED indicator showing which mode is selected. An alert peak LED provides lightning-fast reflection on sound pressure. When the C 414 XLS is permanently installed, all setting options are of course easy to bypass. With a dynamic range of no less than 152 dB, you can handle all kinds of environments and line-ups.

This is one hell of a beast - since I bought it I've used it for a variety of studio recording purposes, including as a room mic for drums. It is so versatile, I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Erg fijne headphone. Super licht op je hoofd en een scherp geluid. Prijs-kwaliteit is top! Ik vraag me alleen wel af hoelang die headband goed blijft inderdaad.

Ik denk niet dat je qua prijs/kwaliteit-verhouding een betere bedrade over-ear koptelefoon kunt vinden. Ik gebruik om vooral om bas en gitaar mee af te spelen met m'n Zoom B1 Four, Yamaha THR 10 en Line6 Pocket Pod en dat doet-ie perfect. Door het lange krulsnoer is er genoeg 'speelruimte'. Verder is het een van de weinige over-ear koptelefoons die óók goed zitten en afsluiten als je een bril draagt. En het geluid is zoals ik gewend ben gewoon goed.

Gewoon een top ding. Makkelijk in gebruik en handig dat er een extra schroef op zit om hem vast te zetten... voor nog geen 11€ top

Ik kon gewoon met mijn Gravity MS T B ook bij Bax verkrijgbaar m.b.v. mijn AKG D5 zangmicrofoon op mijn Korg D4 digital recorder een thuisopname maken die prima is gelukt , dus alleen voor podcasts geschikt is dikke onzin denk ik.Zou niet weten waarom het hier niet mee zou lukken. Mijn keuze viel echter op de Gravity omdat de voet een grotere diameter heeft, maar het zou gewoon moeten werken dit artikel voor meer dan alleen podcasts. Maar net wat je zelf wilt.

Ik ben altijd al fan van Sennheiser en deze Sennheiser HD 280 PRO hoofdtelefoon is perfect voor muziek luisteren en maken. Sluit goed om je oren heen en is ook verstelbaar. Daarnaast ook gewoon een goed lang snoer. De prijs kwaliteit verhouding is gewoon top!
