Product Description
Beautiful condition mic, with the rounded-edge grille. Comes with original power supply, pattern box, swivel cables, and wooden case.The AKG C12 is a justifiable legend in the world of microphones. Now enshrined in the Technology Hall of Fame, it has spawned a number of imitators and vintage re-issues. The originals were only made for ten years, (1953-1963), with approximately 2,500 microphones manufactured.
Known for its unparalleled clarity and unique sound, with rich low end and natural top end, the combination of the CK12 capsule and the 6072 tube achieves what many consider the pinnacle of the microphone designer's art.
The C12 was frequently used for recording Paul McCartney's bass on Beatles tracks from Sgt. Pepper onwards, and also saw use recording the grand piano, strings, and the famous orchestral section of A Day in the Life.
