    The shipping label was created on the next day, while the item was shipped after 4 days of placing the order. The item was shipped through Fedex, which provided a seamless experience with the import documentation, duties and procedures. Tracking was provided every step of the way. I was slightly peturbed after reading some of the negative reviews, but my scepticism was soon dispelled by the excellent service and experience provided by the vendor. I would recommend him to all and anyone.

    Well, I can't say that it was exactly as expected, since I would be lying to myself. The "premium glass" is indeed very premium, couldn't have loved it more. Also, the mousepad is very big. Asked the seller to carefully package it since it was a international shipping to Brazil and he did it! It was very carefully taken care of. 10/10 product AND seller.

    A venerable classic

    I got a great deal on a couple of these just before last Christmas. I love 414's. For voice-over, instruments, or vocals, they're a go-to mic as far as I'm concerned. Pair of overheads on drums, great. Room mic when doing guitars, great. Doing a special remote? (interview) Great. It's really a desert island mic. That's why I picked up two when on sale. The XLS doesn't have the upper freq bump like the XL2 which is akin to the TL2 (now discontinued) Choose your flavor, and smart shopping.

  • THE mic to get! (Trumpet player/horn arranger)

    I chose the XLS model since I'm trumpet player and want a flatter high-end response compared to XLII. The setting in between hyper-cardioid and figure-8 has the body and brilliance that I wanted, and the sound is super clean with the pass-filter and attenuation settings. I will not go back to my ribbon after this!

  • Very versatile.

    I love how versatile this mic is. With all of the different polar patterns, pads, and filters on this mic the sound can be shaped to perfection before recording. It is a warm mic, but depending on what you are seeking that just might work for your needs. I have not heard the XL11 which is more suited for vocals, but I think this sounds pretty good on them as well. I have only had this for a week, but it is already one of my favorite mics ever.

  • Surgical Sound

    You're going to get a very detailed frequency capture with this mic. It's not going to make you sound good or bad. It's just going to give you a lot to work with in Post-production, so if you're skilled in that area you will like / succeed with this unit. Solid as a rock and very pleased with the package contents
