Will you be able to recognize the original AKG C12 of the M12?
Microphone A : M12 DIY Kit
Microphone B : AKG C12 (1961)
J’ai eu plein de micros avant, AKG C414, Shure SM7b, Neumann TLM49 et plein de classiques en studio mais j’ai pris une claque en entendant le C12 la première fois et encore aujourd’hui, c’est toujours une sensation incroyable. Ce micro est riche, chaleureux, ferme, il a un rendu toujours précis et brillant mais jamais aggressif ou désagréable.
La qualité inégalée auparavant pour moi de ce micro m’a poussé à prendre un U47 quelques semaines plus tard et je suis devenu complètement fan ! 😍❤️
This comment could be resumed in three words : Go for it !
Mic and mod' s M12 (version of the world known AKG C12) is a fantastic easy to assemble, budget friendly, great quality microphone.
Currently used in my personal projet studio, (mainly for recording guitar amps and vocals) the recordings are top end studio quality. Truly amazing.
Looking for the ultimate vintage touch of warmth and precision the chain I'm curently working with (to record a 1975 silver face twin reverb) is the M12 and into a UA 1176 into the converters and of you go !
I haven't yet used the microphone to record horns but will be doing shortly. Sounds heavenly.
Assembling or servicing any piece electronic equipment requires at least a little knowledge and some experience but it can quite easily be achieved by anyone who puts his mind to it. My advice : take time, get the proper equipment and train on any type of old gear if you feel like you need to.
Last thing I want to mention is that before buying the mic I sent a message to the mic and mod team, just get some info, and they were very friendly and answered my questions very efficiently and quickly.
Great job guys, keep it up !
to be honost i liked the black power supply design more, the printed text was easier to read, But I also accept the new gray style looks a bit more like the old vintage units was painted, I suggest you keep it this way : but make a little change to the powersupply text and graphics, more fat more large lines, and this way also slightly larger fonts, better to read, and try to center better arround the patern switch.
Posséder un C12 a toujours été l'un de mes plus grand rêve, et c'est maintenant chose faite grâce à vous, mille merci pour ce kit fabuleux
