Grille

The grille is made like a piece of fine jewelry, as it is hand brazed, polished, and bright nickel-plated. The grille's open mesh captures the ears of those who were spoilt by the luminescence and transparency of the original C12.

Capsule

The Wunder Audio CM12 Suprema employs a capsule with 6-micron Mylar. It is a side-address, large-diaphragm design based is a 1" membrane that is fully metalized. (continue reading about the capsule/contract)

Transformer

The CM12 Suprema uses a period correct Hiller T14/1 transformer wound to the Braunbuch specification, using laminations made from the identical nickel alloy mixture as used in the historic Hiller T14 transformer.

Tube

The Wunder Audio CM12 S tubes are hand tested NOS GE 5-star 6072A:

• 6.3 volts DC filament voltage,

• 120 volts DC plate voltage

Capacitor

We've optimized our passive components to achieve a true audiophile performance. While audiophile equipment is usually referred to at the end of the chain in recording, we feel that it is most important that the first link in the recording chain, the microphone, be the best attainable. (continue reading about the capacitor/contract)

Power Supply

The new generation tube Microphone PSU is proprietary to Wunder Audio and is an upgrade from the vintage tube mic PSU’s used for the 1960's era. Our upgrade gets a clean and stable DC voltage to the mic and shields the influx of Wi-Fi and RF interference with 100 percent reliability.

Box and Carrying Case

Your Wunder Audio CM12 S is nestled in velvet and softly secured in place in a foam-lined quarter sawn oak box that is clasped and hinged. This box then is safely encased in a precision velvet-lined thick foam tweed case that also holds your PSU, your swivel mount, and your cables. (continue reading about the carrying case/contract)
