{"product_id":"akg-c12vr-65502","title":"C12VR","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Studio Heritage: The C12 DNA Reinterpreted for Modern Demands\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C12VR continues the lineage of AKG microphones that have marked recording history by incorporating the sonic characteristics that made the C12\/C24 series renowned. This recreation is based on the careful reproduction of the original 1950s diaphragm to regain that broad and \"airy\" high end while maintaining a solid and musical foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared to vintage models, the C12VR's approach targets contemporary studio use: remotely accessible controls, versatile polar patterns, and a complete ready-to-go package. The goal is clear: to offer an exceptional microphone with a confident character, without compromising control in sound capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Studio Applications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AKG C12VR is intended for studios, advanced home studios, and sound engineers seeking a \u003cstrong\u003eprimary vocal microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of capturing nuances with elegance. Its \"open\" sound helps place a voice upfront, with a sense of depth and presence that responds well to compression and equalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its multiple polar patterns and pad, it is also formidable on many sources: acoustic guitar, overheads, piano, strings, brass, and ambient room capture. The choice of polar pattern allows adapting the capture to the room (reverb, bleed) and artistic intent (intimacy, width, depth).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRemote Controls and Versatility: Sculpting the Capture Rather Than Correcting It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eExternal Power Supply: Control of High-Pass Filter, Attenuation, and Polar Patterns\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C12VR relies on an external power supply that does much more than provide tube voltage: it becomes a true recording tool. You have a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e to contain vibrations, mic stand noise, or excessive low frequencies, as well as a \u003cstrong\u003e-10\/-20 dB pad\u003c\/strong\u003e to handle stronger sources without saturating your preamp's input stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polar pattern selector, also remotely accessible, allows switching from cardioid to omnidirectional, including figure-8 and hypercardioid, with intermediate positions. This is a tangible advantage for optimizing the balance between proximity effect, width, rejection, and room coloration without multiple placement trials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe \"Open\" Character of a Tube Microphone, Serving the Mix\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its 6072 tube and diaphragm reproduced according to historical specifications, the C12VR aims for a sought-after balance: a detailed and bright high end without losing the density and presence that provide a \"finished\" feel right from recording. This signature facilitates bringing a voice forward in a dense arrangement while maintaining natural consonant articulation and clear transient definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the included accessories (case, shock mount, windscreen) reinforce the \"studio-ready\" logic: mechanical stability, reduced handling noise, and secure transport for regular professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e30 Hz -
