AUCTION DESCRIPTION
"This is "the AKG Tube" microphone, that replaced the C12 and preceded the C12VR. It comes with all original manuals, metal briefcase, power supply, connection cables, windscreen and shock mount. Many think this mic sounds much closer to the venerable original C12 than the current VR. This mic was purchased from a professional studio recently for a studio project that just didn't come together. It sounds insanely smooth and rich. It was a/b 'd with a C12VR and blew it away. Also compared to several other mics, including aNeumann M149. It had more detail smoothness and "air" to it, not that I can put down the Neumann either. It has its own unique, rich tone as well. I cannot afford to keep it in it's case, unused, any longer. It is a luxury I can't afford. The capsule was replaced by the owner a couple of years ago. It is the made by AKG but I do not know the specific model."
