AKG D12 Vintage Microphone

General

The D12  is great on bass cabs, tuba, trombone, and many styles of vocals. A revolutionary mic when it first appeared, the D12 came after the D25 in the AKG range and preceeds the lesser 112, it has a hand-built bass resonance chamber emphasizing the 60-120 hz range, a built-in shock absorber and pop screen, and a very focused directional characteristic to eliminate feedback. Mostly used on bass drums but can be used in many situations

Compare the original D12 with the later D12E.
