And Easy Way to Get a Great Kick Drum Sound - Fast
Put the AKG D12 VR active dynamic microphone in front of your kick drum, and you'll get a big punchy sound that's just as awesome in the studio as it is on-stage. But what's an active dynamic mic, you ask? The D12 VR works fine without requiring phantom power, just like any dynamic mic. The sound is rich, deep, and powerful. But if you send the D12 VR phantom power like you would for a condenser mic, you get access to three different active filters that shape your sound. That means you'll get a great sound at the source, which means you'll have a much easier job mixing, with a better end result - all because you got the AKG D12 VR active dynamic kick drum microphone.
