Manufacturer's Description from Avantone

Anyone familiar with Avantone’s C-series mics knows to expect extremely reliable service and performance that rival the most vaunted mics ever made at a fraction of the cost. Just a glance at Avantone’s unmistakable cabernet-finished mics sparks instant recognition of the industry’s new standard of pro-studio and live application mics.

The CK-40 is Avantone’s most versatile and essential FET-style mic. A pair of 35mm center-terminated, tightly-stacked pressure gradient transducers allow accurate stereo imaging without producing proximity-based phase issues. Each capsule features completely independent controls; a lowpass filter and -10db attenuation keep low-end interference to minimum at any sound level. The upper capsule/grill assembly can rotate up to 90 degrees off-axis with the lower capsule. Thanks to independent multi-pattern switching, XY, M-S and Blumlein stereo separation options are easily available and well-defined, without needing to touch the retro-style shock mount (included).

The Avantone CK-40 uses ultra-quiet Class-A FET circuitry, with well-balanced performance across a wide frequency range, and its stereo imaging and spatial possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The CK-40 is well-suited for recording anything you need to capture.

About Manufacturer

Avantone is a creative vehicle, enabling our core team to bring to market the things we see as missing in the industry. This can be as simple as a certain price point we feel should be met to give excellent quality for reasonable pricing. At other times, it may be an item that simply does not exist until we build it. We don't use the shotgun approach in creating a product line. Each and every product we create has passion and purpose behind it, whether it costs $20 or $1000. QUALITY: We do 100% Inspection of our mics right here in the USA. Most of our competition skips over this entirely or at best run "spot-checks". This takes us extra time but we want to do it. We care!
