The AKG C12 was a great sounding microphone. However, they are becoming increasing scarcer to find, and when they are available, they fetch many thousands of pounds. |
|
|
AKG's "The Tube" and it's successor, the C12VR, together with their associated PSU's, are ideal candidates for conversion back to "Original" C12 working. |
|
|
Cosmetically AKG's "The Tube" and C12VR are of "Similar" size and appearance to the C12. Alas a different colour. |
|
|
The colour, of a modified unit, can be "Customised" to the clients own specific requirements. |
|
|
Note - AKG's more modern "Solid Tube", is not suitable for conversion to C12 working. |

|
The 2 PCB's, within "The Tube" or C12VR microphone, both require considerable component changes and modification. Thus making the "Modified" microphone electronically identical, to the "Original" C12 unit. |
|
|
The associated PSU and Cable also require modifications, to allow the microphone to work as an "Original" C12. |
|
|
The capsule used in the "Original" C12 is no longer available. However AKG produce a modern day version of the CK12 capsule. This is used in the C12VR and C414B-TL11. |
|
|
During modification, there are two Capsule options available. Either, fit the modern "Replacement" type capsule OR fit a SATURN SOUND "Re-built" CK12 capsule. |
|
|
Price, starting from, £ 412.00 |
|
|
Note - The above price covers the cost of "Modifying / Rebuilding" the electronics of a C12VR microphone / PSU. Using the existing capsule. |
