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 ! 😍❤️

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

Magnifique micro et facile a monter ;) La limited edition est superbe avec une couleur brillante et bien terminé. Le montage n'a pas été trop fastidieux si on connait bien son fer à souder (les cours de techno auront servi à qq chose !). Le temps de montage est grossomodo de 5h avec calibrage. J'attends avec impatience les nouveaux kits !
