Product Code: AKGC12VR

List Price: $6,093.85 Our Price: $5,299.00

Production of the legendary C 12 ceased in 1963, and over the years, it became a highly sought-after collectors item and prized recording instrument because of its exquisite sound.

The new C 12 VR is a reincarnation of this spectacular microphone. The new C 12VR is true to the original C 12s acoustical specifications with subtle refinements made possible by modern electronics and manufacturing technology. These refinements actually lower susceptibility to hum and noise as well as improve its ruggedness. The two 1-inch capsules are identical in performance to the original design with the famous AKG ôvoice-friendlyö sound. The electronics section uses the same rare 6072 vacuum tube as the original to ensure the C 12 VR will deliver the trademark warmth, clarity and presence that characterized the original model.

Nine different polar patterns are remotely selectable from the N 12 VR power supply. Other features include two bass roll-off filters (also remotely selectable), switchable pre-attenuation pads and an internally selectable +10 dB input sensitivity switch. The large core-section output transformer minimizes low-frequency distortion and special shock-mounting protects the circuitry and provides acoustic isolation. The C 12 VR comes in a special hard-shell metal case housing the microphone, its power supply, the shock mount, windscreen and a 10 m (33 ft) connecting cable. A copy of the frequency response graph is included along with the three-year warranty. Add magic to your sound with the AKG C 12 VR. C 12 VR Polar patterns: cardioid, omni-directional, figure eight, and six intermediate positions selectable on remote control. Frequency range: 30û20,000 Hz Sensitivity: 10 mV/Pa (-40 dBV); can be increased by 10 dB by a switch in the microphone Max. SPL for 3 % THD: 128 dB Equivalent noise level: 22 dB-A Signal/noise ratio (A-weighted): 72 dB Preattenuation pad: -10 dB or -20 dB, selectable Bass cut filter: 6 db/12 dB/octave at 120 Hz Electrical impedance: 200 O Recommended load impedance: >1,000Free shipping / No Sales Tax.
