{"product_id":"d12vr","title":"AKG D12VR Large-diaphragm Dynamic Kick Drum and Bass Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AKG D12VR is a reference-quality large-diaphragm dynamic microphone built for kick drum, bass cabinets and other low-frequency sources. Its cardioid pattern and thin, low-mass diaphragm capture weight and attack without the boom that plagues lesser dynamics, making it a dependable choice for engineers tracking drums in the studio or covering kick duties night after night on a touring rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe capsule follows the lineage of the original C414-era AKG D12, updated with an active electronics stage powered by 48 V phantom. Three switchable passive filters shape the response at source: a low-frequency boost for added weight, a presence lift for beater definition, and a combined setting for both. With phantom power removed the microphone reverts to fully passive operation, so it remains usable on any console or preamp. The die-cast body and integrated stand mount stand up to close placement inside a kick drum and to repeated rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge-diaphragm dynamic capsule with cardioid polar pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin, lightweight diaphragm optimised for low-frequency transient response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree switchable passive filter presets for bass boost, presence lift or both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive electronics via 48 V phantom power, with passive operation when phantom is unavailable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh SPL handling suited to close-miking kick drums and bass cabinets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell suited to studio tracking, live events, touring and broadcast production where consistent low-end capture is required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AKG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58425367232815,"sku":"D12VR","price":1548.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/2210\/2319\/files\/D12VR-1.jpg?v=1788469360","url":"https:\/\/audioconnect.co.nz\/products\/d12vr","provider":"Audio Connect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
