AKG C 411 PP – Vibration Pickup for Demanding Musicians The AKG C 411 PP is an ultra-lightweight professional contact pickup, designed specifically for resonant string instruments such as acoustic guitars, mandolins, and violins. Featuring a closed condenser capsule, this device delivers a clean, uncolored, and well-balanced reproduction of your instrument’s acoustic sound. It performs equally well on stage and in studio settings.

Natural and Clear Sound The C 411 PP functions as a contact transducer – it captures vibrations directly from the surface of the instrument, rather than from airborne sound. This ensures extremely precise and natural audio reproduction while eliminating unwanted ambient noise. With a frequency range of 10 Hz to 18,000 Hz, it captures both the warmth of fundamental tones and the clarity of harmonics.

Safe Mounting Without Instrument Modifications The pickup is mounted using an included adhesive pad that contains no solvents, making it fully safe for varnished surfaces. It can be attached near the bridge or at any resonant point on the instrument’s body. Weighing only around 18 grams, the pickup is extremely lightweight and will not interfere with the balance or comfort of playing.

Professional Connectivity and Compatibility The PP version features a standard 3-pin XLR connector (MPAV standard), allowing direct connection to mic preamps, mixing consoles, or audio interfaces. It is powered via phantom power (9–52 V), ensuring compatibility with professional audio systems. It can also be used with AKG wireless bodypack transmitters or external battery-powered modules such as the AKG B 29 L.
