The AKG D12 VR is a reference quality large-diaphragm dynamic bass instrument 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 realised by the original AKG C414 transformer, especially impressive at high signal levels.

The D12 VR features three active filter presets to adjust the microphone response to suit the desired kick-drum sound. The presets are activated when phantom power is enabled, the output level is is then 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 pure sound source.

The three active filter presets can be selected using the three-way switch:
1) Switch in left position (green LED) - The midrange filter and a low- end boost enhance the power of the kick drum. Recommended for use with open kick drums.

2) Switch in centre position (red LED) - A mid-range attenuation filter is active, providing more space for other instruments in the mix. Recommended for achieving a vintage sound.

3) Switch in right position (blue LED) - The mid-range and low-end filters are applied as well as a high-end boost to enhance the presence of the kick. Recommended for use with closed kick drums.

Without phantom power, the microphone delivers the pure character of the sound source. D12 VR is versatile enough to be used with large body wind instruments, bas instruments and even vocals.
