Description

The C12 VR Reference Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone from AKG is a studio condenser microphone that’s a favorite among some of the most sought after recording engineers in the industry. Modeled directly after the classic AKG C12, the C12 VR (vintage restoration) maintains it’s popularity since it’s inception in the late 1940’s. Like the C12, the C12 VR features a 1.0″ diaphragm and unique condenser tube (6072A) design, providing warmth and presence characteristics unique to the microphone.

In addition to the classic sound, the C12 VR is a versatile microphone featuring 9 switchable pickup patterns including omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight, with variations of each. Also provided is switchable attenuation between -10 or -20 dB, and a boost of +10 db to accommodate all studio recording requirements.
