Introducing the D12 VR, a reference large-diaphragm dynamic microphone tailored for kick-drum capture. Its cardioid polar pattern and thin diaphragm enhance low-frequency performance, delivering a warm sound amplified by the original C414 transformer, ideal for high signal levels. With three active filter presets to match your kick drum's character, the D12 VR ensures optimal sound shaping. Activating filters reduces output level by 10 dB, easily controlled via switch on the microphone body. Operating in passive mode without phantom power preserves the instrument's pure sound. Kickstart your drum mix with the D12 VR for unparalleled performance and precision.
