The BeesNeez BC12A FET Microphone delivers the iconic openness, shimmer, and musical balance of the legendary AKG C12 in a modern, streamlined FET design built for today’s studios.
At its heart is BeesNeez’s precision-engineered brass CK12-style capsule, painstakingly recreated using advanced machining to capture the airy highs, natural mids, and expansive detail that made the original C12 a studio icon. The result is a microphone that sounds luxurious and three-dimensional, yet integrates effortlessly into any contemporary recording workflow. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the BC12A FET operates on standard 48V phantom power and features a compact body that’s easy to position around vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, piano, and guitar cabinets. Its cardioid pattern delivers excellent focus and isolation, while low self-noise and high SPL handling ensure pristine capture across a wide range of sources. Hand-built in Australia with the same obsessive attention to detail BeesNeez is known for, the BC12A FET offers classic tube-era tone without the complexity of a tube power supply — making it a powerful, practical choice for engineers seeking vintage elegance with modern convenience.
