Recording
The C 12VR is an exact replica of the original C 12, from
the capsule sound (large membrane) to the original
6072A vacuum tube.
The only difference is that its self
noise and some components were optimized to meet the
current state of the art. The supplied remote control lets
you select nine different polar patterns.
Original C 12s achieve prices up to US$ 8,000 and above
on the second-hand market.
The C 12 VR comes complete with an aluminum carrying
case, power supply, cable, windscreen and spider type
shock mount.
