AKG C414 XLII Microphone Review / Test (Compared to C414XLS, TLM103, U87 Ai, NT1)

Today I review the microphone that PewDiePie uses, the AKG C414XLII. This is a large diaphragm condenser microphone, and it is a work horse. It has 9 polar patterns, 3 high passes, and 3 pads so you can fit it to whatever your use case is.
