The TELEFUNKEN Diamond Series C12 microphone captures the magic that made the original AKG C12 a recording legend. This meticulous recreation brings the silky-smooth sound and versatility of the famous C12 into the modern age. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic guitar or drum overheads, the C12's airy yet articulate response will elevate your recordings with breathtaking realism.
Vintage Tone, Updated for Today's Studios
Like the revered original, the TELEFUNKEN C12 centers around a large 1" dual-diaphragm capsule that delivers a richly detailed frequency response. Vocals take on an open, lifelike presence, while acoustic instruments shine with unmatched clarity. The C12 captures every nuance of your source without artificial harshness or coloration. A proprietary remote polarizing circuit allows you to seamlessly transition between cardioid, omni and figure-8 polar patterns to capture the ideal perspective.
Precision German Capsule, American Craftsmanship
Each C12 capsule is meticulously crafted to the original specifications in Germany, then shipped to TELEFUNKEN's facility in Connecticut for final assembly. There, the capsule meets an amplifier circuit centered around a premium 6072A vacuum tube and Haufe output transformer—the same maker used in the vintage C12s. The result is an uncompromising recreation that preserves the original's coveted warmth and dimensionality.
Silky Highs, Focused Lows, Unmatched Clarity
With its large-diaphragm vacuum tube design, the C12 delivers an extraordinarily open, dimensional sound unlike any other microphone. You'll be struck by the silky air and shimmer on vocals, acoustic guitars and drum overheads. The midrange conveys every nuance and inflection with stunning realism and presence. Even the low frequencies maintain their tight, focused character without muddiness. From delicate sources to heavy rock, the C12 captures every performance with uncompromising fidelity.
Studio-Ready With Premium Accessories
The C12 arrives ready for professional use with a full suite of accessories. A sturdy shockmount keeps vibrations from reaching the sensitive capsule. A 25' quad-shielded cable allows flexible mic placement. The included power supply lets you seamlessly adjust the polar pattern without reaching for the mic. And a rugged flight case protects your investment during transport. The C12 even comes with an elegant wooden storage box for a classic look on your mic locker.
For engineers seeking a microphone with stunning presence and character, the TELEFUNKEN C12 effortlessly captures the magic that made the original an icon. With its meticulous engineering and premium components, this world-class microphone brings vintage warmth and versatility to your most critical recording sessions. Visit your local Guitar Center today and experience why the C12 is still considered one of the finest microphones ever made.
