Avantone CV-12 Microphone
The Avantone “Cabernet (C Series)” microphones are designed to deliver true professional performance. They will meet or exceed the performance and specifications of much more expensive microphones. The CV-12 is truly a beautiful looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance are comparable to some of the fine vintage tube microphones of the 1950’s and 1960’s…but at a fraction of their cost!
The robust CV-12 microphone housing and capsule assembly are precision machined from brass. Aesthetically, it has an elegant Cabernet wine red finish, accented with polished nickel finish and grill. The transformer-coupled tube circuit has its origins in famous European vintage designs. Any studio can proudly offer the CV-12 as a primary vocal microphone… It exudes class both visually and sonically. Manufactured using the finest materials for a rock solid feel, excellent structural integrity and rugged reliability.
The versatile CV-12 microphone can produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character. The included Custom Retro Shockmount is excellent at allowing precise positioning of the microphone, while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations to the microphone. This insulation ensures superior professional results.
