The Telefunken Elektroakustik C12 Tube Microphone is a recreation of the classic AKG C12. Revered for its smooth and airy frequency response, ithe C12 is the epitome of classic, hi-fidelity sound.
The C12 is incredibly detailed, capturing all the subtle nuances of a performance and transferring them back to the listener in a manner that is so realistic; you'll think you're listening to the source directly. Its silky smooth top end provides plenty of air without sounding harsh or artificial. Its midrange speaks clearly and articulately, capturing the source with a natural presence. Its low end is tight and focused, perfectly balanced with the rest of the frequency range. These qualities make the C12 a fantastic choice for all types of instruments, lending itself especially well to drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and vocals.
While it is a fantastic choice for all types of instruments, the C12 lends itself especially well to drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and vocals. Its silky top end provides plenty of air without sounding harsh or artificial. Its midrange speaks clearly and articulately, capturing the source with a natural presence. Its low end is tight and focused, perfectly balanced with the rest of the frequency range. The TELEFUNKEN C12 builds upon the original design with the implementation of cathode self-biasing operation, a configuration which is quieter and more consistent than the original fixed-bias configuration.
Coveted by an extensive list of professional recording engineers, the Telefunken Elektroakustik C12 historic reissue is an exceptional microphone that will be a treasured addition to your microphone collection for many decades to come.
