AKG D12 VR er en stormembrans dynamisk mikrofon specielt designet til stortrommer og bas.
Ved hjælp af en unik tynd membran har D12 VR ekstra god lavfrekvens-respons. En trafo identisk med den i den originale C414 bidrager til at give mere varme til lyden.
Ved passiv brug (uden phantom power) fungerer D12VR som en standard dynamisk mikrofon. Men ved at give den +48V, kan man bruge et af tre aktive filtre: open, closed og vintage (læs: mere bund / bund+klik / retro)
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.
