AKG D12 VR

Designed specifically for kick-drum recording applications, the microphone has a thin diaphragm to enhance the low frequency performance. Its warm sound is realized by the original C414 transformer, especially impressive at high signal levels.

The D12 VR features three active filter presets to match its sound shape with the kick drums character. When activated, the output level is automatically reduced by 10 dB. The filter settings can be controlled using a switch on the microphone body. Without phantom power, the microphone operates in passive mode and delivers the instruments pure sound.

• Active Dynamic Microphone: Tailored for bass-heavy instruments like kick drums, bass guitars, and tuba, offering rich, detailed low-end response

• Integrated Bass Resonator: Enhances low frequencies for a warm and powerful sound signature

• Selectable EQ Modes: Features three active filter presets to adapt the microphone's response to different tonal preferences and instruments
