## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product
*by E***E on 11 March 2022*

Excellent Product. Bought after several review, no regret.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AKG
*by M***N on 25 November 2021*

Awesome pick up mic. No wonder they lead the market in condenser Microphone sector

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good active pickup for Sitar
*by A***R on 21 July 2019*

Works well. I use it for my sitar. Frequency response is good. It is an active pickup, so it needs Phantom power to work. Downsides are that you have this tape to glue it that is only sufficient for removing and putting it back a few times. Also the wire is very thin, so I am a little worried that slight mishandling may damage it. I also found it picking up hum from 50Hz mains, but I feel that is partially the fault of my mixer because it does not have an earth connection. And although not a big deal, but the pouch supplied with it is too small to fit the XLR Jack. As far as the things that matter are concerned, no complaints.
