These particular microphones have never been used before. They were purchased by my friend, who unfortunately did not live long enough to actually use them. So as close to brand new as you can get.

From the leading broadcast facilities world-wide to the recording studios and the performance stages that have hosted the top musical artists of all genres for more than 60 years, the AKG C414 multi-pattern condenser microphone needs little introduction. There are few microphones that are as widely accepted as a de facto part of any professional engineer's mic locker as this famous microphone. Now, you can own a matched pair of C414 XL IIs at an affordable price with the C414 XL II/ST bundle.
