AKG D12 VR Dynamic Microphone Overview
The AKG D12 VR is a large-diaphragm cardioid dynamic microphone. Designed specifically for recording kick-drum, the microphone has a thin diaphragm to enhance the low frequency performance. AKG drum mics are industry standard for professional sound quality and are extremely robust and reliable.Without phantom power, the microphone delivers the pure 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 mode the output level is also reduced by 10 dB automatically.
