General

The Avantone CK-40 is a stereo condenser microphone with a classy finish and a classier sound. This mic is a part of the Cabernet series (C series) by Avantone. As you might expect from the name, it has a lovely wine-red colour! Also, it features two gold-sputtered diaphragms with a diameter of no less than 35 mm each. The pickup pattern as well as the angle between the two diaphragms can be adjusted, so that you can freely select your manner of recording (XY, Blumlein, M-S). Truly, the Avantone CK-40 is a highly versatile microphone with an attractive price, that can match many a more expensive competitor.

The CP-40's Sound

Extensive options are all well and good, but the sound of the microphone is the most important thing. Not to worry, the Avantone CK-40 provides a brilliant sound - it's clear, beautiful, open and detailed, without becoming shrill. The Class A FET circuit of the Avantone CK-40 ensures that you can enjoy the warmth and openness of a tube microphone.

Versatile and Complete

In home as well as commercial studios, the Avantone CK-40 really comes into its own. It's universally applicable, for instance as a vocal microphone for a vocal group, or as a room mic or piano mic. Even recording an entire orchestra won't be an issue. The Avantone CK-40 is delivered including a neat Custom Retro Shock mount, durable case, windshield and a special cable of 9 metres with a breakout box.
