AKG Acoustics D12 VR Not affect the audio signal, Switch in left position green LED, Kick drum

Description

Microphone operation	a	Without phantom power the D12 VR operates as a normal
		dynamic microphone. The three active filters are bypassed and do
		not affect the audio signal.
	b	When connected to a standard phantom power supply (P48V) the
		output level is automatically reduced by 10 dB and one of three
		active filter presets can be selected using the three-way switch.
	1)	Switch in left position (green LED)
		The midrange filter is applied as
		in Position 2 and a low-end
		boost enhances the power of
		the kick drum.
		Recommended for use with

open kick drums.

2) Switch in centre position (red LED)

A mid-range attenuation filter is active, providing more space for other instruments in the mix.

Recommended for achieving a vintage sound. 3) Switch in right position (blue LED)

The mid-range and low-end filters are applied as in positions 1 and 2 as well as a high-end boost to enhance the presence of the kick.

Recommended for use with closed kick drums.

The switch position is clearly represented by the colour coded LEDs and hence the filter selection can be determined with ease.
