FLEA 12

FLEA 12

This mic is an exact replica of C12 and involves a modern style power supply with integrated pattern switch.  The mic is equipped with 6072 tube. The transformer is our own replica of original . Considering the sound, it is simply "Rolls-Royce". In some applications this mic will seem somewhat neutral, but it benefits will stand out during mixdown. It's fantastic for vocals, acoustic instruments as well as ambient miking. Those, who have not experienced, will not believe.

We are excited to introduce our latest product: the FLEA CK12 Capsule, a precise replica of the renowned CK12 capsule.

Although it may seem like a recent development, the creation of this capsule has been a long-term project that began 15 years ago. The idea to develop our own version of the CK12 originated in 2009. During the course of development, we discovered an exceptional capsule from another manufacturer, the CT12. Impressed by its sound and performance, we temporarily shifted focus, setting aside our CK12 project in favor of using the CT12 for several years. It proved to be an excellent product, and we were pleased with the results.

However, our dedication to completing our own CK12 capsule never waned. After years of meticulous work, we are proud to announce that the FLEA CK12 is now finished and ready for production. This capsule is an exact clone of the original CK12, faithfully recreating its remarkable sound quality.

By keeping production under one roof, we can fine-tune each capsule to perfectly match the specific requirements of each microphone, ensuring optimal performance in both the FLEA 12 and FLEA ELAM251 microphones.

The FLEA CK12 is a true reproduction of the original, engineered with exacting attention to detail and manufactured using the latest precision machinery. Every capsule is hand-assembled and tuned to ensure the highest level of performance and sonic accuracy.
