C 414 B-XL II/ST

This matched pair consists of two C 414 B-XL II microphones that are within 1 dB to each other in sensitivity and also within 1 dB to each other in the range of 300 Hz to 8,000 Hz of the individual frequency response when used in cardioid mode and are selected from a large quantity of individual microphones using the described criteria by using a proprietary computer program.

Using this matched pair for stereo recordings utilizing various techniques will provide for a good and stable balance without frequency-dependent shifting of the stereo panorama.

The kit includes all the standard accessories of the deluxe package (excluding the PF 80) along with a stereo bar and proof of performance charts in an attractive carrying case (large Soundtool case).

The C 414 B-XL II features high SPL capability, EMI immunity, three switchable bass cut filters, three pre-attenuation pads, five selectable polar patterns, and two-color LED's for pattern/filter/attenuation indication.
