AKG C411 Condenser microphone

really, it's amazing. I've tried on my old master Italian violin & it's very powerful and recommended for strings classic instrument.

perfect for small harps

I use this one with multiple small harps and I am stunned. It sounds as well as a fancy DPA on these small string instruments. Won-der-ful

Very happy with some of the results I've had so far. I use it for both sound design and live sampling.

Microphone connector barely fits in protective bag.

I've used it on a musical saw. Every resonating metal material I find. Even some drums to give them slightly more body. Glass bottles. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It doesn't have a full spectrum representation, but nonetheless I'm happy with this.

Sounds good!

Sounds good, good quality. Make sure you have phantom power!

The microphone to go for when you're short of cigars...

When the moment comes to record a classical guitar nothing beats a traditional microphone. Apart from this AKG411PP that produces very detailed reproduction of the guitar's frequency spectrum.

Being a condenser microphone, it sounds way better than a piezo, and gives the advantage to carefully chose the position on the topo, to maximize the tone response.

Incredbly Clear for something so small

This microphone is a very useful piece to have at the studio or on the go. Whilst creating sounds for a SciFi Pilot I was sticking it on the oddest places like car bonnets and walls of caves. You'd be amazed at hoe creative this mic lets you be

Pros: Great sound, can fit in your pocket, can be placed on anything

Cons: the sticky material given with the mic is very little but Glue Tac will do

For unusual instruments as well great!

I use this mic for Ukrainian bandura which is quite big 67 string and has bass register and strings which sounds like an harp.

So this mic pics up very clearly all registers and sound is soft and warm.

Also it douse not make any other third party noise.

Easy to attach. Just glue it with the tape which is in the package.

Disadvantage that its not active, so you have to buy a phantom power, Which I bought.

AKG C 411 legendary

Excellent microphone for sound recording or live performances. We tried it on classic guitar , mandolin and violin. It really reproduce sound clearly and without any coloration. It works perfectly during live recoding and it unique size does not affect any instrument play and it does not change the original sound of the instrument. We believe it is a perfect solution for any strings instrument making any sound engineer works easily !

Excellent

I bought this specifically for use on a Banjo. It does a fine job there but its main prupose now is on a violin that we use in a loud rock band. I have to say this does a great job. No feedback and the tone is excellent (obviously this is also dependent on placement) . Highly recommended

Finally a acoustic mic that sounds amazing!

This little mic just blew me away with its sound, I have used all sorts of mic's for gigging and recording acoustic guitars in the studio and this one is far and away the best value for money. It makes the guitar sound more "natural" and gives a purer representation of the instruments tone. The handy "sticky goo" that is used for attaching the mic is great for finding the sweet spot and is easily removed with no signs of damage to my Martin or Guild. The difference in sound is remarkable, AKG really hit the nail on the head with this new design.
