AKG C12 VR Multi-Pattern Tube Studio Condenser Microphone
The AKG C12 VR is a premium multi-pattern tube studio condenser microphone designed for professional vocal recording, acoustic instruments, orchestral capture, broadcast, and high-end studio production. Inspired by the legendary AKG C12 from the 1950s, the C12 VR delivers classic tube warmth, detailed presence, and flexible studio control for serious audio professionals across Australia.
Available from Audio Shop Australia, the AKG C12 VR is built for engineers, producers, and studios seeking a refined vintage-style microphone with modern switching flexibility and a dedicated external control and power unit.
Classic Tube Microphone Character
Modelled after the iconic AKG C12, the AKG C12 VR captures the character of a vintage tube condenser microphone with a rich, musical tone and detailed sound reproduction. Its tube-based design makes it especially appealing for lead vocals, solo instruments, acoustic performances, and premium studio sessions where warmth and depth are essential.
The microphone uses an original 6072A vacuum tube and a classic dual-diaphragm design, giving it a distinctive sound suited to professional recording environments where tone, texture, and expression matter.
Nine Polar Patterns with Remote Control
The AKG C12 VR offers nine polar pattern options selectable through its external control unit, giving engineers the flexibility to shape recordings based on the room, source, and placement. Cardioid, omni-directional, and figure-of-eight patterns allow the microphone to adapt to vocals, instruments, room capture, and advanced recording techniques.
This makes the C12 VR a strong choice for professional microphones setups, high-end audio interfaces, accurate studio monitor systems, and complete pro audio gear workflows.
Studio Control for Demanding Sessions
The included N 12VR remote power supply provides control over polar pattern selection, high-pass filtering, and attenuation or boost options. With -10 dB and -20 dB pre-attenuation settings, plus a +10 dB boost option, the microphone can be adapted to a wide range of studio recording situations.
A two-position high-pass filter helps reduce low-frequency rumble and unwanted noise, giving engineers cleaner recordings with improved focus across vocals, acoustic instruments, and room-based capture.
Ideal For
The AKG C12 VR is ideal for premium recording studios, vocal producers, broadcast engineers, acoustic musicians, classical recording specialists, and high-end production rooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, and Sunshine Coast. It is especially suited to lead vocals, solo instruments, acoustic guitar, strings, piano, room ambience, and professional studio recording.
