KICK THE HAMMER
for bass drum live and recording applications
The D12 VR is a reference large-diaphragm dynamic microphone
with cardioid polar pattern. Designed specifically for kick-drum
recording applications, the microphone has a thin diaphragm
to enhance the low frequency performance. Its warm sound is
realized by the original C414 transformer, especially impressive at
high signal levels.
The D12 VR features three active filter presets to match its sound
shape with the kick drum’s character. When activated, the output
level is automatically reduced by 10 dB. The filter settings can
be controlled using a switch on the microphone body. Without
phantom power, the microphone operates in passive mode and
delivers the instruments pure sound.
