S-12 Microphone

The S-12 microphone is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone. It is not a clone or copy of any other model, but rather a nicely balanced vocal and acoustic instrument microphone with a full bottom end and sparkle in the high frequencies.

Inside the S-87 is a small configuration switch. The switch can either activate a 10dB pad (lowering the mic's sensitivity, allowing the mic to record louder sources without clipping) or as a Cardioid/Omni pattern switch. Use the menu above to choose your preference.

To access the switch, spin the endcap off the microphone, and slide the body sleeve down. (No tools are required to open the microphone.)

Applications

We. recommend this model for voices, acoustic strings, ensembles, and choruses.

In The Box

The S-12 includes a swivel mount and a vinyl storage pouch.
