Avantone CK-1 FET Pencil Condenser Microphone

Offering true professional performance at a fraction of the cost, the Avantone Cabernet C-Series mics from Avant Electronics meet or surpass the performance specifications of much higher priced mics. The CK-1 is a truly gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. It features an elegant Metallic Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grill, plus its rugged body and capsule assembly are made of precision machined brass.

As far as performance goes, the CK-1’s high quality FET circuitry yields professional results. Even better, it uses high grade Polystyrene and Metallized Polypropylene capacitors in the audio path – the type of components that are often implemented by microphone modders/hot-rodders!

In the studio, the CK-1 is great for instrumental and percussion miking, yielding professional results with a warm and pleasing sonic character. It is also equally at home on the stage for miking drum overheads, acoustic instruments, and piano. The CK-1 includes 3, 19mm interchangeable capsules (cardioid, omni, and hyper-cardioid) to provide near limitless miking possibilities, while the included SSM Shockmount is superb in allowing a precise positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic.
