Manufacturer's Description from Avantone

The Big Boy of Avantone’s "Cabernet (C-series)" true condenser FET circuit LDC mic family. Avantone’s proven transformer coupled circuit is paired with our new 34mm, super sensitive 6-micron capsule. Avantone’s new proprietary “edge terminated, dual backplate” and “custom style” Metalized capacitors help provide exactly what you’d want from the finest “studio-standard” FET-LDC mics money can buy. A full low-end, rich midrange response and well-defined smooth highs, without the harsh edge associated with mics that don’t cost a king’s ransom. 

Anyone that is familiar with Avantone’s C-series, knows they are built tough. The CK-7 sports a solid brass milled hull, and woven steel-grill, without any breakable plastic parts employed. A custom “Retro-style” 16-point shock mount provides superior isolation from vibration, assuring no low-end resonance ever reaches the mic. An 80k high pass and -10db pad are ready to be engaged, to keep your track immaculately clear from unwanted noise, and distortion free. When you consider the three-way polar pattern selector (Cardioid, Omnidirectional and figure 8), full range response, and noise abatement, the CK-7 might be the most versatile, and inexpensive FET LDC available.

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!
