Description
I BROUGHT SOME MICROPHONES FOR A PROJECT WHICH IS NOW OVER, I AM SELLING OFF THE EXCESS MICROPHONES THAT HAVE HAD LITTLE TO NO USAGE, THIS MICROPHONE IS BRAND NEW AND HAS BEEN TESTED TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS CORRECTLY THE CARRY CASE HAS A LITTLE BUMP ON IT, NO DAMAGE TO ANY CONTENTS INSIDE AND THE CARRY CASE IS STILL IN FULL WORKING ORDER I PERSONALLY THINK THIS A GREAT MICROPHONE I ALSO I HAVE A STEREO MATCHED PAIR WHICH I USE ALSO REGULARLY, IT HAS MANY STUDIO APPLICATIONS, MY FAVOURITE IS ON ACOUSTIC GUITARS BUT EXPECT GREAT RESULTS ON MOST BRASS AND WIND INSTRUMENTS, OVER HEADS AND STEREO MIC'ING ALTHOUGH THIS MODEL WOULDN’T BE MY GO TO MIC FOR VOCALS, I HAVE TRIED IT THE RESULTS WERE DECENT BUT I FOUND THE SOUND TO BE QUITE HARSH AND BRINGS OUT THE HIGHS IN THE VOICE SO MAYBE IN SOME VOCAL APPLICATIONS YOU CAN FIND IT USEFUL COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES UK BIDS ONLY PAYMENTS ONLY THROUGH PAYPAL NO RETURNS ACCEPTED Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone The C414-XLS is a multipattern FET condenser microphone, the latest in the ULS/XLS series of “linear/neutral” studio microphones. The primary new feature of the revised mic is that it offers 9 polar patterns, rather than five. Pattern for pattern, the frequency response of the XLS matches that of the B-XLS. The self-noise is the same, 6dBA. The new mic is slightly less sensitive (20mV/Pa) than the B-XLS (23mV/Pa). The pattern, pad, and filter are selected via pushbutton controls on the body of the microphone. Current selections are indicated by LEDs. As on the B-XLS, the controls can be locked to prevent accidental reconfiguration during handling. The clip indicator LED introduced on the B-XLS is improved on the XLS, in that the LED stays lit for 3 seconds. Like the B-XLS, the XLS employs surface-mount components within its circuit boards. The amplifier circuit is a low-noise design, making the mic one of the lowest-noise mics we have seen (6dBA regardless of pattern).
