## Overview

The AKG C411L is a compact, ultra-light condenser vibration pickup designed specifically for stringed instruments like guitars, violins, and mandolins. Featuring a sealed transducer and a figure-8 polar pattern, it captures clear, uncolored sound across a wide 10-18kHz frequency range. Its professional mini XLR connector ensures seamless integration with wireless transmitters and phantom power sources, while the low-profile design maintains your instrument’s natural balance. Trusted by pros for over a decade, it’s the go-to choice for authentic acoustic amplification.

## Description

The AKG C411L is a miniature condenser microphone primarily designed for capturing stringed instruments. The flat frequency and signal response is optimized to accurately reproduce the character of acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin, viola, and other stringed instruments. The microphone is easily attached near the bridge or anywhere on the instrument using the included non-marring, reusable, solvent free adhesive compound. The low-profile light weight design will not interfere with the balance or performance of the instrument.

Review: May not faulty - I bought more than 10 akg c411pp and c411L but nothing was a faulty one. I assume who reviewed here want to connect it directly to the mixer. This is only to use with wireless transmitters or phantom power adapters. Try connecting to those. I have my oldest which I am using about 10 years now. I had to change the cable but it's working perfectly. One more thing- don't expect support from Harman Service center. I approached them to change the cable but they were reluctant to do so and asked me to buy a new one. One of my friends did that job for me and it's working well now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long is the cable ?**
A: AKG site says it's 1.5 meters (~5 feet). https://www.akg.com/Microphones/Condenser%20Microphones/C411L.html?dwvar_C411L_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current

**Q: What type of adapter do I need?**
A: It comes with xlr connector you can plug it directly to the mixer

**Q: I decided to use a phantom power unit and boss AD2 acoustic preamp with this. Is it a good choice?**
A: Hi, I am not sure about the preamp, I did try with the phantom power that showed up under "frequently bought together" connected to my "acoustic" brand amp, it worked well.  so you should be good I guess.

**Q: Is there some connector if I wanted to switch this from xlr to a 1/4 instrument cable?  Which do you recommend?**
A: The C411/PP needs 'phantom power', so it won't work from a 1/4" socket (unless it provides power, which would be weird!)
The alternative C411/L provides a professional three-pin mini XLR connector that fits the body-pack transmitters of all AKG wireless microphone systems.
That is what you need
