description AKG C411 PP Overview
The AKG C411 PP is a lightweight contact pickup for acoustic instruments.

The unit is aimed at performers who need to amplify instruments such as acoustic guitar or violin while preserving a compact setup and avoiding the placement of a conventional microphone in front of the instrument.
