Here's an Echolette Top 12 Dynamic Microphone from the 1960's! Echolette was a German brand that re-branded popular microphone types from AKG, Beyer, and others. This Echolette Top 12 has the same capsule as an AKG D12, thus creating a big punchy low end that's great on sources with good bass response. The difference between the Top 12 and a typical D12 is the Top 12 has a different bass chamber that closes off the back of the microphone. I have found that these microphones sometimes have a deeper low end than a typical D12 (check out my samples). If you've been looking for a great kick drum option, this is the microphone for you! This one has a new XLR cable, had a diaphragm cleaning / realignment, and has had the switch bypassed. Grab this AKG made Top 12 from Echolette!
