The AKG C414 B-ULS is a studio standard. The C414 XLS mimics this famous microphone's sonic character, with ruler-flat linearity and a neutral character that flatters any sound source it captures. While frequently touted for its prowess as a vocal mic, this multipattern, large-diaphragm condenser is a real workhorse as well ? it sounds great on just about everything. This bundle from Sweetwater pairs an AKG C414 XLS with a Universal Audio Apollo Twin X QUAD audio interface, enabling you to record the sound of this undisputed classic through the finest analog-emulated plug-ins on the planet. You also get UA's Heritage Edition UAD-powered plug-in bundle, a premium suite comprising five award-winning titles. A high-quality, 15-foot Mogami CorePlus microphone cable rounds out this outstanding vocal recording bundle.
