C411/L Vibration Pickup For Stringed Instruments - Xlr

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.

Bad quality

World best pickup , nice for surfaces, violin Lover's use it for sound.

Is not compatible with standard connections. Amazon does not sell any helpful adapter. And worst, it does not work. I have no options to return. Horrible. Amazon is perfectly horrible.

Product not looks like new. And also the glue is not in the box. Also not compatible with standard connections

I don't want this product. It is defective n not working. Send my money in my account.

Got faulty product!!!!

El micrófono es original, lo devolví por que la entrada es xlr mini y tuve que comprar el C411 pp que si es xlr. El paquete llegó maltratado y me dió la impresión de que es un producto viejo. Por la calidad del paquete le doy 2 estrellas.

J'aime ce produit. Malheureusement, je ne l'ai pas encore utilisé car il me manque l'adaptateur pour le brancher à la table de son. Pourrais-je avoir la référence et le prix de l'adaptateur qui fonctionne avec ce produit AKG Pro Audio C411/L ? J'attends votre réponse avec impatience. Merci!

The product has been previously unpacked and used. Torn package and carelessly placed inside the product. The product is not new. Disappointing.

I saw this recommended for mic-ing a kora on a sound-tech's forum, and thought I'd try it out for a range of unusual acoustic instruments that don't play loud. I pressed this on my calimba (thumb piano) and got great results right away. The pickup is usable at a variety of locations with great sound quality. At the most resonant place on the calimba sound board, I dialed the phantom-powered mic input of by Zoom R16 back a to about 60%. On a less-resonant spot, setting the gain to 90% got the right input level. I know I know I should be quoting gain in dB, but I'm not there yet. Anyway, it's nice to know that I can get a low-noise, richly toned contact-based pickup from different parts of the instrument. I got great results from the Audio-Technica Pro 35 clip-on mic, but this is sound pressure based mic that did have some feedback issues in my personal, wearable-PA setup with speaker very close to mic. I'm hoping the AKG contact mic may eliminate feedback issues since it won't pick anything up from my wearable PA speaker output. The packaging (includes sticky-gum mastic for attaching the mic) is great, especially the no-frills but tough and well-made zipper envelope/purse for the mic.

Couldn't find mini XLR adapter, better buy it with AKG Phantom Power adapter
