The rugged CV-12 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of brass.

Aesthetically, it features an elegant cabernet wine-red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grill. The transformer coupled tube circuitry has its origins in famous European vintage designs. Any studio can proudly offer the CV-12 as a primary vocal mic. Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability. The versatile CV-12 mic is able to produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character.

The CV-12 comes complete with a custom retro shockmount, allowing for precise positioning of the mic while minimizing the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic.
