The C414 comes complete including a vibration-inhibiting shockmount, a pop filter, a windscreen, and a metal carrying case. Equipped with nine selectable polar patterns, three attenuation levels, and three switchable bass-cut filters, the C414 XLII remains one of the most versatile condenser microphones for recording vocals, drums, and acoustic and amplified instruments in the studio or on stage.

The 1" edge-terminated, dual-diaphragm transducer combined with the low-noise electronic circuitry provide a wide dynamic range of 134 dB and can handle SPL up to 158 dB, for a detailed, linear, and natural tone.

Featuring a switchable pad -6, -12, or -18 dB and low-cut filter 40, 80, or 160 Hz. The multi-pattern to omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-8, or the four intermediate polar patterns, offers versatilty to get the most natural sound from vocals and any instrument—electric and acoustic guitars, drums to much more.
