AKG Acoustics D112 User Manual

D 112

Bass Dynamic Microphone

Description

The pop recording industry often prefers selected models
of dynamic microphones for the pickup of closely spaced
bass drums and bass guitar amplifiers. The reason is that the
moving system of the dynamic can be designed to handle
these high excursions with very high mechanical linearity. The
AKG Model D 112 is a descendent of AKG’s earlier D 12
dynamic microphone, widely known for its ability to handle
high level signals from bass drums and bass guitars in the
studio. The microphone has been designed with a low
resonance frequency and can handle very high transient
signals with virtually unmeasurable distortion. High frequency
response has been tailored to keep both bass drum and bass
guitar clearly distinguishable in the mix. A built-in windscreen
makes the D 112 also suitable for high SPL instruments
(trombone and tuba).

Features

• Response tailored for bass guitar
and bass drum pickup, both in
the studio and on-stage

• Response maintained down
to 20 Hz

• THD virtually unmeasurable.

• Includes built-in windscreen and
stand adapter
