Product Description

The Avantone Cabernet (C-series) mics from Avant Electronics are designed to offer true professional performance. They will meet or surpass the performance and specifications of much higher priced mics.

The Avantone CK-6 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance can be compared directly to fine studio-standard FET mics -- but at a fraction of their cost! Avantone's rugged CK-6 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of brass.

Aesthetically, the compact body features an elegant Metallic Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grill. The transformerless Discreet Class A FET circuitry will yield pleasing professional results comparable to much more expensive designs.

Uses Include:
Studio vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, piano, etc...

The -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when miking very high SPL sources to keep from overloading the electronics.

The 80 Hz high-pass filter switch can be engaged to reduce rumble and to keep unwanted low frequencies from "muddying up" the track.

Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability.

The versatile CK-6 mic is able to produce professional results with a clean sonic character.

The included Custom Retro Shock Mount 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. Transformerless CLASS A FET Microphone w/ 32mm gold sputtered thin Mylar capsule
-10 dB pad & 80 Hz LF roll off switches
