Is it a good choice?** A: Hi, I am not sure about the preamp, I did try with the phantom power that showed up under "frequently bought together" connected to my "acoustic" brand amp, it worked well. so you should be good I guess. Neewer 1-Channel 48V Phantom Power Supply with Adapter, BONUS+XLR 3 Pin Microphone Cable for Any Condenser Microphone Music Recording Equipment (8 feet) **Q: Is there some connector if I wanted to switch this from xlr to a 1/4 instrument cable? Which do you recommend?** A: The C411/PP needs 'phantom power', so it won't work from a 1/4" socket (unless it provides power, which would be weird!) The alternative C411/L provides a professional three-pin mini XLR connector that fits the body-pack transmitters of all AKG wireless microphone systems.

Bought after several review, no regret. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ pick up and usage is very good. This is a condenser microphone *by P***R on 4 July 2017* Sound quality, pick up and usage is very good. This is a condenser microphone. so we cannot connect to amplifier or mixer without Phantom Power Supply. I bought a Studiomaster Phantom Power Supply in Chennai for Rs. 2100. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good active pickup for Sitar *by A***R on 21 July 2019* Works well. I use it for my sitar. Frequency response is good. It is an active pickup, so it needs Phantom power to work. Downsides are that you have this tape to glue it that is only sufficient for removing and putting it back a few times. Also the wire is very thin, so I am a little worried that slight mishandling may damage it. I also found it picking up hum from 50Hz mains, but I feel that is partially the fault of my mixer because it does not have an earth connection. And although not a big deal, but the pouch supplied with it is too small to fit the XLR Jack. As far as the things that matter are concerned, no complaints. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKG Pro Audio C411 PP High-Performance Miniature Condenser Vibration Pickup for Stringed Instruments with MPAV Standard XLR Connector Black - Shure BETA 57A Instrument Microphone - Supercardioid Dynamic Mic for Vocal and Instrumental Applications with High Output Neodymium Element, Durable Steel Mesh Grille and Shock Mount - Shure SM58 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone - Professional Studio & Live Performance Cardioid Mic for Vocals, Podcasting, and Recording (SM58-LC) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/102919905-akg-c411pp-vibration-pickup-for-stringed-instruments-xlr-microphone](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/102919905-akg-c411pp-vibration-pickup-for-stringed-instruments-xlr-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
