The Avantone CK-40 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur rugged CK-40 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 Discreet Class A Low-Noise FET circuitry will yield pleasing professional results comparable to much more expensive designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny studio can proudly offer the stereo CK-40 as a group vocal mic, room mic, piano mic, or utility condenser due to its versatility...It exudes class visually as well as sonically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability. The versatile Avantone CK-40 Stereo Class A FET microphone features twin LARGE 35mm center-terminated pressure gradient transducers. Their close physical proximity places them in a tight vertical array to allow accurate stereo imaging without phase issues arising. The top capsule\/grill assembly rotates UP TO 90 degrees relative to the lower capsule\/grill assembly. This feature along with the multi-pattern independent selector choices allow for all stereo recording techniques to be utilized.

(Front switches control the lower fixed grill\/capsule while the rear switches control the upper rotating headgrill.) The 3 patterns allow the CK-40 to be used in a variety of situations including M-S recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when miking very high SPL sources to keep from overloading the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80Hz HIGH-PASS filter switch can be engaged to reduce rumble and to keep unwanted low frequencies from \"muddying up\" the track. The CK-40 operates on standard 48 volt phantom power and includes a 5-Pin mic cable that plugs into the included 1x2 stereo splitter box. Two standard XLR mic cables are then all that is required to connect to a phantom powered mic preamp\/console channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
