The D12 VR features a large diaphragm with a cardioid polar pattern, ensuring precise sound capture while minimizing background noise. Its thin diaphragm is meticulously designed to enhance low frequency performance, delivering a robust and resonant bass sound that truly stands out.
One of the standout features of this dynamic microphone is its original C414 transformer, which imparts a warm, rich sound that becomes especially impressive at high signal levels. This unique feature sets the D12 VR apart from other microphones in its category, making it a must-have for professionals seeking superior sound quality.
The D12 VR also boasts three active sound shapes or filter presets, allowing users to tailor the microphone's sound shape to match the kick drum's character. When these filters are activated, the output level is automatically reduced by 10 dB, ensuring optimal sound quality at all times.
Control of these filter settings is made easy with a switch located directly on the microphone body. Furthermore, the D12 VR operates in passive mode without phantom power, delivering the instrument's pure sound without any alterations.
