The AVANTONE "Cabernet (C-series)" mics from AVANT ELECTRONICS are designed to offer true
professional performance. They will meet or surpass the performance and specifications of much higher
priced mics.
The AVANTONE CK-6 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and
performance can be compared directly to some of the very finest FET mics but at a fraction of their cost!
The rugged CK-6 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of BRASS.
Aesthetically, it features an elegant Metallic Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim
and grill. The transformer coupled Discreet Class A FET circuitry will yield pleasing professional results
comparable to much more expensive designs.
The transformerless Discreet Class A FET circuitry will yield pleasing professional results comparable to
much more expensive designs. The CK-6 houses a 32mm gold-sputtered thin Mylar capsule.
The CK-6 in its normal stock version uses high grade Polystyrene and Metalized Polypropylene capacitors in
the audio path. This represents our commitment to quality as these normally are the type of components that
are implemented by microphone modder/hot-rodders!

Studio vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, piano, etc...
