Description
 
The AKG D12 VR Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Dynamic Microphone features an active mode with switchable filtering as well as a normal passive mode. Designed specifically for kick-drum recording applications, the microphone has a thin diaphragm to enhance the low-frequency performance. Without phantom power, the microphone is designed to deliver the natural character of the sound source. With phantom power enabled, one of three switchable active-filter presets can be used to quickly adapt the microphone response to suit the desired kick-drum sound. The filter setting can be controlled, using a switch on the microphone body. In this active mode the output level is also reduced by 10 dB automatically.

Product Features:
  • Active dynamic microphone, fine-tuned for kick drum applications
  • Operates passively without phantom power
  • Applying phantom power allows you to access three different filter curves
  • Filter 1 adds low-frequency boost for depth and power
  • Filter 2 is a midrange cut that opens up sonic room for other instruments
  • Filter 3 combines the first two filters, and adds a presence boost for clarity
  • C414 transformer adds sonic richness to high-level signals
  • Ultra-thin diaphragm and bass-optimized capsule chamber capture huge bass tones
  • Cardioid polar pattern, with up to 25dB signal rejection of off-axis sounds
  • Excellent for use in both studio and live applications
