Micro dynamic Designed for bass instruments, but often used in singing (probably also for the look "vintage").
It has long t THE REFERENCE for the bass drum and bass amps, elbow to elbow with the Electro-Voice RE20, with 70 of the 60's. Electro-voice still continues to produce RE20, while AKG was replaced by the D112.
NB: Despite the parent do not assimilate with the D112's successor, in his "modernisquot; (the era of its release ...) and more specially bass drum.

Today they are often prfre Shure Beta 52 on scne, but they are still trs Priss studio because their rponse curve is flatter, easier work.

The bandwidth of the D12 is around 40Hz-16kHz. He emptied the cash trs strong noise levels.
It can be used with excellent results on all major instruments (drum, bass, trombone ...) and all powerful instruments (snare drum, guitar amp). Is made to work proximity of the source, but is not a reason to stick with HP systmatiquement unless one seeks an effect "loudness".

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 10 years. It is a most versatile microphone that does use which has made sound, good microphone, which is rare and little is known of the young generations.

The use of a color you Confre IMMEDIATE sound a bit "vintage", trs fashion right now.
We like it or not ... (O my note 10)

But used it as surprising rvle of modernity provided for use with common sense and imagination, and not to confine the bass drum.
It is all done on this instrument NEWS if you looking for a more natural sound, with less kick than the 52 beta, without ct "open" the PZM (microphone flat at the bottom of the poss gc on a cushion, mostly jazz).
