Review: Great - I use these on a Rav Vast tongue pan and an H5 Zoom. More depth to the sound than recording die t onto the H5, and no background noise. Highly recommended.
Review: The product has been previously unpacked and used - The product has been previously unpacked and used. Torn package and carelessly placed inside the product. The product is not new. Disappointing.

## 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
