d112 died?!! looking for info

[Substrated]

After a year and a half. Not abused, dropped. No output. Really bummed. Has anyone else had this happen? Can it be fixed or am I on the way to that evil place called GC to get a new one? thanks!

Have you opened it up to make sure it's not just a loose wire?...there pretty robust, it could maybe be a couple of things, i would check to see if it was anything obvious first..good luck

did you get it new or used? under warranty at all? sounds like a workmanship defect..

[Substrated]

Got it new, I took it apart and the solder connects are fine. hmm i always thought of this thing as being bulletproof. Warranty is for a year blad nabit

You can send it to AKG out of warenty and they'll go so far as the replacing the entire capsule assembly without it costing as much as a new one would. i forget exactly how much. Took about a week and a half. maybe two.

Thanks hoof. I see an address in nashville fo them but it doesn't state if it's a service center. does that ring a bell?

[Family Hoof]

i think it rings a bell. I'll try to get back to you with the details in a day or two.

We're a AKG dealer, they are a pretty good company to deal with. The front of our price list says "All AKG products returned for credit, service or warranty repair must be shipped pre-paid to: AKG Acoustics, 914 Airpark Center Drive, Nashville, TN 37217"

I'm surprised yours died like that.

Thanks JasIII!

I've sent in many akg's for repair. Just send them to that nashville address to "attn: repairs". You'll get a call back from them with the verdict in a few days. You can pay them by card over the phone and they'll send your mic back to you. No need for a return authorization or anything. I forget the ladies name that I always speak to, but she's/they're great. Pretty cheap and fast work.
Just be sure to include your return address in the box with the mic and ship it insured either fedex grnd or UPS or Priority if USPS.
later,
