Product Details
AKG C414B-TLII Condenser Microphone
The AKG C414B-TLII is a large-diaphragm, multi-pattern condenser microphone designed for professional recording, broadcast, and live production environments. Inspired by the sonic character of the legendary AKG C12, the C414B-TLII combines detailed high-frequency response with the flexibility required for a wide range of audio applications. As a result, it has become a trusted microphone for vocal recording, acoustic instruments, voiceover work, and studio production.
Designed for Vocals and Detailed Source Capture
The C414B-TLII features a noticeable presence boost in the upper-mid and high-frequency ranges. Therefore, it excels on lead vocals, spoken word, acoustic guitar, piano, strings, and other sources that benefit from added clarity and definition. The microphone helps voices sit naturally in a mix while maintaining detail and articulation.
Additionally, the microphone’s large-diaphragm design captures subtle performance nuances with excellent transient response. This makes it a strong choice for music production, podcasting, broadcast studios, houses of worship, and corporate presentation recording.
Flexible Multi-Pattern Performance
The C414B-TLII offers four selectable polar patterns: cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-eight. This flexibility allows audio professionals to adapt quickly to different recording techniques and room environments.
For example, cardioid mode works well for isolated vocal recording, while omni mode can capture ensembles or room ambience. Figure-eight patterns support stereo recording techniques and interview applications. As a result, the microphone can handle a wide variety of production workflows without requiring multiple specialized microphones.
Built for Professional Production Workflows
The C414B-TLII includes switchable bass-cut filters and selectable attenuation pads that help optimize performance for different sound sources. The microphone offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and can handle sound pressure levels up to 140 dB SPL, or 160 dB SPL when attenuation is engaged. This capability allows it to capture everything from delicate vocals to loud percussion and amplified instruments.
Its transformerless circuitry delivers clean signal transfer with low noise and consistent performance. Meanwhile, the rugged metal construction supports demanding studio, touring, and rental environments. Whether deployed for music recording, broadcast production, content creation, or corporate AV applications, the C414B-TLII provides reliable operation and versatile sound capture.
