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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnown 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePSU (after-market)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePSU connection cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AKG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449702117479,"sku":"41188","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/akg_c12a__2317__used__4392236_14e1f18e-5cff-491e-abb0-261a348ef3ed.jpg?v=1787090055","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/akg-c12a-2317-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
