AKG C 12 VR Condenser Microphone
The AKG C 12 has been around for years and years and is a legend, recording engineers love it’s warm open sound and AKG have decided to revive the legend in the form of the C 12 VR (Vintage Reissue), complete with the same vacuum tube, the 6072A, that was in the original C 12.
The AKG C 12 VR is provided complete with its own professional flight case, power supply (N 12 VR), elastic suspension (H 15/T), 30 ft. multi-conductor connecting cable (MK 12 VR), and foam windscreen (W 42).
The AKG C 12 VR has been made to a very specific list of specifications in order to meet the high expectations this vintage reissue has generated, given the significance the original C 12 has garnered over the many years that have passed since production ceased in 1963. c414 microphone.
