Description:
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-33 is
truly a gorgeous looking and sounding
microphone. The design, character and
performance can be compared directly to some of
the world’s very finest STEREO FET mics…but
at a fraction of their cost!
The rugged
CK-33 microphone body and capsule assemblies are
precision machined of BRASS.
Aesthetically, it
features an elegant Metallic Cabernet Wine-Red
finish, accented with polished nickel trim and
plated steel grills.
The Discreet
Class A Low-Noise FET circuitry will yield
pleasing professional results comparable to much
more expensive designs.
Any studio can
proudly offer the STEREO CK-33 as a group vocal
mic, room mic piano mic , or utility condenser
due to its versatility…It exudes class visually
as well as sonically.
The versatile
AVANTONE CK-33 Stereo Class A FET microphone
features twin LARGE 32mm center-terminated
pressure gradient CARDIOID transducers. Their
close physical proximity places them in a tight
vertical array to allow accurate stereo imaging
without phase issues arising. The top
capsule/grill assembly rotates 90 degrees
relative to the lower capsule/grill assembly.
The CK-33
operates on standard 48 volt phantom power and
includes a 5-Pin mic cable that plugs into the
included 1x2 stereo splitter box. Two standard
XLR mic cables are then all that is required to
connect to a phantom powered mic preamp/console
channel.
Uses include:
Studio group
vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum
overheads, piano, room mic, etc….

"I
just wanted to tell you how good your
microphones are! This was recorded with
a CK-33 about 12 ft up in the air and
about 8-10ft in front of the stage at
Blue Chicago during the Chicago Blues
Fest last weekend. The band is Charlie
Love and the Silky Smooth Band. There
was no eq used on this recording, just
some compression and a touch of reverb.
The front of house speakers were
breaking up a bit, so Charlie's vocals
would occasionally distort but hey, it's
blues! Captured with all the raw
intensity of a live performance. I have
a mid 80's AKG C12 "The Tube" and I
would now choose your mic over that one
for live recording. Thank you for making
quality microphones at a reasonable
price. I'll have to look at some of the
other mics you have."
Here is the link for one of the songs
recorded that evening ...
