## 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.

It is expensive, but it is worth every riyal

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but cable might not last
*by S***N on 9 May 2021*

Very happy with this mic so far. I use it on a hand pan drum. I would have liked the cable to be a bit thicker though as it looks like it could be easily damaged if something gets accidently placed on top of it like a chair leg, keyboard stand leg or flight case. Especially being black on a dark stage you might not notice until it's too late. I understand they need to be lightweight for attachment to string instruments and such but any lightweight cable trailing on a stage floor is asking for trouble. Perhaps they could offer two versions - a lightweight cable and a heavy duty cable.
