Description
The AKG D12 VR is a large-diaphragm cardioid dynamic microphone designed for kick drum and bass. A thin diaphragm and an optimized bass chamber extend the low end, and the original C414 transformer gives a warm sound that is most striking at high signal levels.
Without phantom power the D12 VR works as a passive dynamic microphone, a setting that also suits loud wind instruments and vocals. With phantom power, a switch on the body selects one of three active filter presets, and the output level drops by 10 dB automatically in this mode.
