General

AKG have been producing world-class studio microphones for many a day. These microphones, designed and carefully made in Vienna, deliver inestimable contributions to recordings all around the world. The C 414 XLS is a large-diaphragm microphone with a linear frequency range, that is capable of registering a very natural sound.

The AKG C 414 XLS/ST Microphones: The Perfect Match

This matched pair is made up of two C 414 XLS microphones. These have been selected carefully, via a computer-controlled method. From thousands of separate microphones, these matched pairs are compiled, on the basis that they have the highest possible correlation with regards to frequency response and sensitivity. Every matched pair comes with written proof of this fact.

Application

When recording a choir or orchestra, wide audio capture is vital. In order to achieve correct stereo registration, a matched pair is simply indispensable. It ensures that the acoustics and rendition of a piece of music are picked up to the best of the microphones' ability and also makes sure that there is no imbalance between the left and right channel. In large studio environments and as a high-quality overhead, this matched set is also very well suited. For a stable balance and a powerful stereo image, you can't ignore this complete C 414 XLS pair.

Wrote the following about AKG C 414 XLS-ST Matched Pair of Studio Condenser Microphone

Deze 414 mics zijn een must voor live band versterking en studio recording.

Wij gebruiken ze veel met strijk trios, accoustic gitaar, drum enz, en dan zelf in stereo opgezet.
De karakteristiek switch op de microfoons zijn hierbij ongekend ideaal zodat je opvangt wat je wil opvangen en eventuele monitor speakers niet opvangt.

Microfoons klinken helder, dat krijg je niet bij de simpelere mics.

Ze kosten wel wat maar ik raad het de serieuze techneut aan.
