A Stunning Microphone, Worth Every Penny!
I bought the C414 XLII for my home recording studio, because of its versatility ( 5+ polar patterns), and reputation as a mic of excpetional high quality. I have not been disapointed. My experience with the C414 has been that it's dead-on accurate, and offers no coloration to anything I have recorded thus far. The playback is exactly what the voice or instrument sounds like. I have used it to record vocals, acoustic guitars, dobro's and as a room ambience mic for electric guitar in conjunction with a Shure SM57 up close. If you don't need the multiple polar pattern versatlity of the C414, the AKG C214 is essentially the same mic. The C414 will most likely be anyones "go to" mic.

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 key

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.Read full review

"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.

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.
