Great mics.
AlphaDo.ch 01.01.2022
Very good microphones for studio recording. We use them as a second stereo pair for grand piano and pipe organ music recordings. They make the sound softer, fuller and more pleasing to the ears. Switchable directional characteristics allows you to customize these microphones perfectly for each instrument and room acoustics. Also ideal for other instrument recordings. I am grateful to AKG for these microphones. Thank you.

Evergreen All-rounder
Nachtfuchs 14.06.2019
My favourite all-rounder in this price range.
You can do a complete combo with them, from drums to horns and just be happy with the result.

Just sad that the company got eaten by Harman/Samsung.
Like everything else.

Very good microphones for OH and Acoustic Guitar
This_Is_Tomorrow 07.07.2019
The AKG C414 XLS Stereo Matched-Pair is probably one of the best options out there for drum overheads. I usually use them as an A/B pair and they really work great. These mics aren't overly bright, but they are very detailed, they can work well with both bright and dark cymbals without sounding harsh - I've seen them beat a matched pair of AKG C12.
On my acoustic guitar they sound really good too and the figure-of-8 polar pattern allows you to perfectly capture a singing guitar player without significant bleed.
On the other hand, these mics aren't that good for vocals, specially with sybilant high-pitched voices like mine. You can still work with them if you need for vocals, but that just isn't their strong point - if you want to record rock/metal vocals (belting and that kind of stuff) it might sound harsh and "metallic". They sound do sound good with some soft pop vocals.
All in all, really a great buy for OH and acoustic guitar, but not that great for vocals.

Clarity, Fullness, Detailed
Classical Producer 13.05.2021
c414 is one of the best condenser mic that has flat frequency response on the market. It is clear, full and very detailed. I used for classical recordings and upright piano recordings and it is just great.

Multiple polar patterns, dynamic range, low noise floor are the important things that makes this mic very versatile.

It is also great for overheads. However, I recommend this pair for especially piano and guitar as well.

Never heard natural from mic
AlMos 07.01.2022
Guys, that's unbelievable. Never had such a natural mic (i have tlm 103, robe nt1000, ntk (last one is really not)). Wow. Blumlein highly recommended. Plus, that mid-directional - like cardioid-supercard position. Awesome. Plus lightning fast delivery.

the best mic for me as violinist
classicalmusicrecordingbeginner 13.05.2021
I'm a violinist and the C414 is just perfect for my recording! The sound is just perfect and very clear. Five different settings could be set allow me to adapt to different occasions, such as recording at home or in a concert hall.

A Classic
S Recordings 17.04.2021
The C414's are a go-to mics in any studio. Perfect on drum overheads, bass and guitar amps, acoustic instruments, woodwinds, you name it. The built quality as well as the features (polar patterns, dB pad switch, low self noise etc.) are as great as you would expect. Not an instant hit on vocals due to its 'darker' frequency response (the C414 XLII is more bright), but they take EQ really well if you want to get to a more crispy sound. These mics are considered classics for a reason!
