Avantone Pro CK-6+ Large Capsule Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone

The Avantone "Cabernet (C-series)" mics are designed to offer true professional performance at an absolutely unbeatable price. Featuring high grade Polystyrene and Metalized Polypropylene capacitors in the audio path as well as Avantone's own proprietary single backplate 34mm 6 micron capsule, the CK6+ has the component set that is normally attributed to modded or hot rodded microphones.

The new larger capsule coupled with a transformerless circuit allows an incredibly airy open top end with a solid low end, making the CK6+ the most versatile microphone at its price point.

Milled from a single piece of solid brass, the body of the CK6+ was designed to give the microphone a solid feel and the included custom retro shock mount prevents unwanted vibrations from traveling up into the microphone. The CK6+ also has separate -10 dB pad & 80 Hz LF roll off switches.
The -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when miking very high SPL sources to keep from overloading the electronics.

The 80Hz high-pass filter switch can be engaged to reduce rumble and to keep unwanted low frequencies from "muddying up" the track. All of these features come together to give you a fully professional microphone and a completely unbeatable value.
