how long is the cable ?

AKG site says it's 1.5 meters (~5 feet). https://www.akg.com/Microphones/Condenser%20Microphones/C411L.html?dwvar_C411L_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current

What type of adapter do I need?

It comes with xlr connector you can plug it directly to the mixer

I decided to use a phantom power unit and boss AD2 acoustic preamp with this. Is it a good choice?

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.

Is there some connector if I wanted to switch this from xlr to a 1/4 instrument cable? Which do you recommend?

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. That is what you need https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006V7Q6RM/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005SUSXGA/
