The BC12A Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone from BeesNeez faithfully models the classic AKG C12a, a mainstay of recording studios for years. It features a brass multi-chambered CK12 capsule, combined with a proprietary, insulated aluminum diaphragm.
The NOS 5784WB tube was chosen for its extremely low noise floor and rich tone, and when combined with the precision-engineered brass construction and proprietary 13:1 E-Core transformer, the totality of the microphone's construction quality really shines. The engineer can choose from nine polar patterns (omni, cardioid, figure-8, and variants) for maximum recording flexibility. Use it for a wide variety of instruments, acoustic and electric, as well as solo vocals and ensembles, to bring out airy highs, substantial but clean mids, and robust low end.
