AKG D12VR Reference Kick Drum Microphone
The AKG D12VR is a reference large-diaphragm dynamic microphone designed specifically for kick drum recording and live sound applications. With its cardioid polar pattern, thin diaphragm, and powerful low-frequency response, the D12VR delivers warm, punchy, and detailed kick drum sound for professional studio and stage environments.
Available from Audio Shop Australia, the AKG D12VR is ideal for drummers, recording engineers, live sound professionals, venues, and studios across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, and the Sunshine Coast.
Powerful Kick Drum Sound with Active Filter Presets
The AKG D12VR is engineered to capture the depth, attack, and impact of kick drums with exceptional clarity. Its large-diaphragm dynamic design and thin diaphragm enhance low-frequency performance, while the original C414 transformer contributes a warm and musical character, especially at high signal levels.
The microphone features three active filter presets, allowing engineers to shape the sound to match the character of the kick drum. When phantom power is supplied, the active filter circuit becomes available and the output level is automatically reduced by 10 dB. Without phantom power, the D12VR operates in passive mode for a pure and natural instrument sound.
Its cardioid pickup pattern helps focus on the drum source while reducing unwanted spill from surrounding instruments, making it a reliable choice for both studio recording and live stage use.
