Versatile
It is a very versatile mic with the 9 patterns and hpfs, but your pre is a large part of the sound.. Cheaper pres will be on the thin and clinical side. But with decent pres, it gives you some real warmth and thickness... The extended high end isnt harsh at all. But the mic is very prone to sibilance. Placement is keyVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Made setting vocals much easier in the mix.
I have a nice home studio (Primacoustic London 12 kit with Stratus Clouds, rear diffusers, Reason 9 DAW, JBL LR308 monitors, DBX 676 channel strip and Focusrite Forte interface). I was using an MXL V67G which don't get me wrong, sounded good to the ear. Had a hard time getting the VOX to sit in the mix right. I would spend a ton of time equalizing and gently compressing, only to have to bend the rest of the mix around them. There was something going on around 5k that I could not get to settle down. The AKG C414XLII changed all of that. The first thing my singer said was the microphone sounded "muffled" to her. What was actually happening was the MXL was so "hyped" on the high end it added a lot to the initial tracking. Tone wise the AKG tracks are extremely accurate and respond well to minor EQ and compression changes. Getting them to sit in the mix is a snap. On a spectral analyzer the tracks look beautiful. I will never go back to using one of those "great" affordable microphones. The difference was massive. I will leave you with this, if you have to choose between an expensive microphone or room treatments, spend the money on the room first. The mic will only give you what you give it. If your room is harsh, with bad reverberations, you will not get the full effect and benefit.

"For close-up recording or high-output sources of up to 158dB SPL" -AKG
I've been using the RODE NT1, which after comparing to the XLII, I'm convinced of RODE's quality. I would have just saved my money longer to afford this microphone if I knew that this mic's ability to record loud sources would be so handy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent microphone!
This is my first high end microphone so i cannot compare them; however, I am very happy with the recordings of my electric guitar through a combo amp that I am able to capture with this microphone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
