5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Most Pickups, March 9, 2007
This review is from: AKG C411L Ultra Light Instrument Mic W/Mini XLR Instrument Mic (Accessory)
PROS:

1-the flexibility to experiment with placement and tones on the soundboard and bridge.

2-sounds better than most pickups.

3-no need to drill holes in the guitar

4-low cost (also see CONS)

5-sound got even better when I combined the C411 signal with an Audio Technica AT831b clip-on mic pointed at the soundhole. This sound was almost as good as using my AKG C414 in the studio.

6-adhesive sticks really well and doesn't mark up or damage the wood

7-solid/loud output

8-can be used on multiple guitars

9-using two C411s at the same time (placed on different parts of the guitar)would probably sound even better

CONS:

1-doesn't sound better than a high-end condensor mic

2-cost of the mic is low but the AKG cable you need to use the mic cost more than mic.

3-attack is good for fingerstyle/classical/flamenco players but not ideal for really fast... Read more

this mic captures every imagineable detail on my steel sting acoustic & its incerdibly feedback resistant for most acoustic venues(dont expect to play at a rock show thru a 100W monster amp). the acoustic sound comes out so clear & natural,it picks up finger squeaks,finger taps everything & yet very little of surrounding noise. hats off to AKG for making such a great product. I've even tried it on a nylon string guitar(great sound), on a sitar(really good) & even on the body of a fretless electric guitar(!even the... Read more
