AKG D12 VR Reference Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone for bass drum live and recording applications.

The D12 VR is a reference large-diaphragm dynamic microphone with cardioid polar pattern. 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 drum?s 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.

  • Patented switchable active-filter presets three sound shapes to match the drums character
  • Original C414 transformer delivers a warm sound especially at high signal levels

AKG The D12 VR is a large diaphragm dynamic microphone specifically designed for bass drums and bass.

Using a unique thin diaphragm, the D12 VR has extra good low frequency response. A transformer identical to the one in the original C414 helps add warmth to the sound.

When used passively (without phantom power), the D12VR functions as a standard dynamic microphone. But by supplying it +48V, you can use one of three active filters: open, closed and vintage (read: more bottom/bottom+click/retro)
