Cardioid BC12

Common name: BeesNeez Cardioid BC12

Production Status: In production

Sonically, the BeesNeez Cardioid BC12 Clone is a true clone of the original. This sound is never ageing and though many have tried to match its grace, it still stands as a clear winner if you are looking for an airy and smooth microphone sound. It is considered by many industry professionals to be one of the finest sounding microphones ever produced. It is not surprising to see that many original C12’s are still being used every day. The capsule in the Cardioid BC12 Clone is naturally the BeesNeez CK12 Capsule. Like the original AKG CK12, this multi-chambered capsule is without a doubt the most complicated capsule available and the accuracy that is achieved is only possible with the best possible machining and care. Each CK12 capsule is entirely manufactured, hand-lapped, and diaphragmed by Ben Sneesby personally. The transformer in the BeesNeez Cardioid BC12 Clone is the BeesNeez E-Core single-spool transformer. The E-Core transformer in this microphone offers the advantage of a low-leakage transformer and a small physical size. The tube is a 12AV7 NOS military tube. The BeesNeez Cardioid BC12 Clone body is made from brass tube. The microphone includes a swivel mount connector and lead, clone series power supply and wooden box.
