Based
on the popularity of our U47 kits, AMI is working on producing C12 kits. We are finalizing the production
prototype and will begin producing the production parts in the next couple of weeks. The goal is to have kits ready for
ordering in the Summer 2011. The kits will be identical with the following modifications:
The
capsule holder will be a Neumann style capsule holder to improve the shock mount capability. This is the same structure
as found on the Lucas CS-1 microphone.
The historic impedance switching board will be replaced with a plane
epoxy board that is used to mount the transformer
The parts will be interchangeable with historic C12 parts for refurbishing projects or for do-it-yourself
projects. Let us know what you think!
