To get a contemporary, very intimate vocal sound, we recommend using a cardioid microphone approximately 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) away from the singer and switching the bass rolloff filter in. The supplied foam windscreen helps suppress plosives (such as "p" or "t"). For optimum noise rejection, use a separate pop screen such as the AKG PF 80. AKG C 12 VR and AKG SolidTube mic’s are extremely popular internationally because of their "warm, intimate" sound. We recommend adding the vocalist/musicians’ own track to their headphone monitor signal for better control of their own voice/instrument. Specializing in acoustics, AKG makes the most popular headphones for recording studio applications worldwide.
