Polar pick-up pattern The D 12 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone is of the moving coil Operated type and has an ex. ceptionally smooth. wide-range response.

The AKG D12 is a cardioid dynamic microphone with a built-in "bass chamber" in the head basket designed to enhance low frequencies from 50 - 200Hz, and an internal shockmount which isolates the dynamic coil / capsule from the rest of the microphone and the floor.

Its unique sound established the D 12e as the world’s standard microphone for bass drum and bass instrument pick-up. the D 12’s frequency response extends down to 40 Hz, and the slight peak in the 60 to 120 Hz range enables the microphone to do full justice to the mellow, intimate quality of the trombone, tuba, or flügelhorn.

The D12E is successor to the classic single-diaphragm kick drum mic the D12. The mics are virtually identical, except for the plastic 'band' where the grilles overlap, and the position of the XLR output. The D12E is also great on bass cabs, tuba, trombone

The D12, and its successor the D12E, are arguably the best-known early dynamics dedicated to kick drum and other bass instruments. The D12 is the nominal ancestor of AKG’s popular D112. The moving-coil cartridge is coupled to a “bass chamber,” a cannister below the cartridge that was connected acoustically via a small tube.
