The Avantone CV-12 Multi-Pattern Large Capsule Tube Condenser Microphone is designed to offer true professional performance. The design, character and performance is comparable to some of the fine vintage tube mics of the 1950’s & 1960’s, but at a fraction of their cost.
The rugged CV-12 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of brass. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grill. The transformer coupled tube circuitry has its origins in famous European vintage designs. Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability.
The versatile CV-12 mic is able to produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character. The included Custom Retro Shockmount is superb in allowing a precise positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This isolation allows for superior professional results.
This is a great mic. Ive recorded vocals through it at a local studio that was also equipped with a vintage U-87 and various other expensive mics and the Avantone was perfect for our singers voice. It is highly regarded as one of the better "bargain" tube mics out there. Avantone products are a great value.
