Definition of "tk12":

TK-12 is one of Telefunken Elektroakustik’s two modern recreations of AKG’s CK-12 capsule.

The company, until April 2008, manufactured both the TK-12 and a “CK-12;” the latter is claimed to be an exact replica of the original brass-ring capsule, discontinued by AKG sometime in the mid-1970s (as suggested by the initial appearance of the Teflon CK12 in the C414EB, which was introduced in 1976).

In contrast, the TK-12 uses “modern techniques and standard parts (molded plastics and assembly screws)” that allow the company to “streamline the manufacturing process” (according to the company FAQ) and presumably reduce costs.

The TK-12 is a large-diaphragm condenser capsule with dual 10-micron gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragms.

To confuse matters, the company’s Ela M 12 / C12 microphone has at times been advertised with the CK-12, and at times with the TK-12. It is unknown whether the the company intentionally initially referred to their CK-12 reproduction — described in 2004 as “an exact reproduction of the CK-12 capsule found in historic Telefunken 251 microphones” — as the TK-12.
