One of the most famous tube microphones in the history of recording was the legendary AKG C12. In spite of vast changes in microphone engineering, these microphones in good condition are still very much sought after and extremely expensive.Therefore, studio engineers vigorously demanded a rerun.

The AKG C12 VR is an exact replica of the original C12, from the capsule sound 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.No less than nine remotely selectable polar patterns, the legendary large-diaphragm capsule and an original 6072A vacuum tube provide a sound that is simply beyond words.The C12 VR comes complete with an aluminum carrying case, power supply, cable, windscreen, and spider type shock mount.
