Avantone CV-12 Multi-Pattern Tube LDC Microphone - Quick n' Dirty

The versatile CV-12 mic is able to produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character. The 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. This isolation allows for superior professional results. The CV-12 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance is comparable to some of the fine vintage tube mics of the 1950’s & 1960’s. This mic is available four SoundPure's Try-Before-You-Buy Program, so if you want to hear how it sounds in your studio, shoot us an email at ProAudio@SoundPure.com, or give us a call anytime at 919.682.5552.

Manufacturer's Description from Avantone

Black Lion Audio Hot-Rodded CV-12

The Avantone CV-12 tube driven, large diaphragm condenser mic has become an indispensable element in world-renowned studios and home set ups alike, due to an unheard-of combination of quality, durability, and value. Ongoing development of audio solutions that meet or beat “industry standard” expectations, is the core of Avantone culture. 


The CV-12/BLA is a joint effort between Avantone and Black Lion Audio*, that unlocks the full potential of the amazing CV-12. A completely overhauled circuit utilizes a Solen Fastcap coupler and “CK” style 34mm capsule. The new power supply has more filtering,  lower signal to noise ratio, and greater headroom. 


The result of the BLA makeover, is a CV-12 without the slight upper midrange hump, and greater headroom. High’s sound sweeter, lows more present with increased balance, natural sound reproduction and far greater versatility. 

The CV12 BLA remains a top contender as a world class primary vocal mic. Its expanded versatility makes the CV-BLA also a top choice for use with Drum sets, Acoustic Piano, Mandolin, Brass, Winds, and even close miking a guitar cab. Avantone and BLA have created a high-quality tube condenser mic, that is ready for anything.

Black Lion Audio

If you don’t know the name, you do know the sound. Chicago based “Black Lion Audio” has been the top mod-shop for audio-recording gear for over a decade. BLA’s mod work and boutique products are present on hits by artists as diverse as Alison Krauss, MGMT, Beyonce, Metallica, T-Pain and more.

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!
