Product information "Telefunken C12 Matched Pair"
Revered for its smooth, airy, and highly detailed frequency response, the TELEFUNKEN C12 is the epitome of classic hi-fidelity microphone design. Ideal for capturing all types of instruments, it excels on drum overheads, acoustic guitars, and vocals. The silky top end provides natural air without harshness, while the midrange remains clear and articulate, delivering a lifelike presence. The tight, focused low end perfectly balances the overall tonal spectrum. Building on the original design, the C12 implements cathode self-biasing operation, offering quieter, more consistent performance than the traditional fixed-bias configuration. This microphone continues to set the standard for professional studios seeking unmatched musicality and precision.
