The rugged metal carry case houses a range of the best AKG microphones made for capturing miking drums while simultaneously ensuring safe transportation wherever you go.
AKG D12 VR Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone
The AKG D12VR Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone is a reference large-diaphragm dynamic mic with cardioid polar pattern. Designed specifically for kick-drum recording applications, the D12VR has a thin diaphragm to enhance the low frequency performance. The AKG D12VR Dynamic Bass Drum Microphone's warm sound is realized by the original C414 transformer, especially impressive at high signal levels. The AKG D12 VR features three active filter presets to match its sound shape with the kick drum's character. When activated, the output level is automatically reduced by 10 dB. The filter settings can be controlled using a switch on the microphone body. Without phantom power, the AKG D12VR Microphone operates in passive mode and delivers the instruments pure sound.
AKG C214 Condenser Microphones (Matched Pair)
The AKG C214/ST Condenser Microphones are a pair of stereo microphones designed for recording of lead vocals and solo instruments in studio and on stage. Using hand-selected state-of-the-art, reliable components, the C214 meets the highest professional standards and will withstand severe handling in the recording studio for many years. The AKG C214/ST Condenser Microphones (Stereo Pair) have been designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family. Like the C414, the AKG C214 offers a supreme one-inch capsule on an integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise. A switchable 20dB attenuation pad allows recording of loud sources of up to 156dB SPL. A switchable bass-cut filter allows close-up recording with almost no proximity effect. The AKG C214 captures sound by combining one capsule of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system and the patented AKG Back-Plate Technology, resulting in an outstanding performance close to the famous C414 XLII.
AKG C451 B Condenser Microphone
is designed to deliver stunning sound quality with maximum accuracy. Offering an impressive sound pressure level capability of 155dB SPL, it allows close-miking of high-energy sound sources without distortion. The AKG C451B Condenser Microphone is a small-diaphragm condenser mic with the identical acoustical behavior of its predecessor, the legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule, which was a bestseller right from the start in 1969. With its airy sound, high overload limit and improved engineering details, the AKG C451B continues the success story of this legend. The roadworthy design around the handcrafted capsule and the low-noise preamp electronics ensure impressive results even under very harsh conditions.
AKG D40 Dynamic Instrument Microphone
The AKG D40 professional instrumental microphone with its solid all-metal body will stand up to the hardships of night-after-night onstage use with a smile. Its patented Varimotion diaphragm uses a unique laminated material to damp high resonance peaks, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance. The transducer is protected by a sturdy wire-mesh cap and can take extremely high sound pressure levels with ease. An integrated stand adapter in combination with the included H440 mounting bracket makes the D40 a highly versatile tool for use on drums, percussion, wind instruments and guitar amps.
