"A Budget Mic With A Pro-Level Sound"

I recieved my CK-6 as a gift, and what a gift it is! I own an Avantone CV-12 so just for fun we A/B'd the two.(The we being 3 sound engineers with over 30+ yrs experience each) Then we A/B'd it with an AKG 420, AKG 220, similar budget mics, price-wise. The CK-6 proved to be better than the 220 w/o a doubt. The CK-6 and AKG 420 were close in price, but 2 out of 3 chose the Avantone. What blew us away was testing CK-6 against the CV-12, a mic that is a quality tube mic with 9 p/u patterns. Both Avantones have a "tone", as do the AKG's; different brands,different tones even with same specs. The CV-12 beat them all, hands down, but the 6 shined in so many ways, all 3 of us had to admit we were shocked. The CK-6 is an awesome mic,worth every penny, hard to believe it cost less than 200 spending gitas! Seriously, call zZounds today and order yours...be happy like me!
