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-40 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-40 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-40 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-40 Stereo Class A FET microphone
features twin LARGE 35mm center-terminated
pressure gradient 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 UP TO 180 degrees
relative to the lower capsule/grill assembly.
This feature along with the multi-pattern
independent selector choices allow for all
stereo recording techniques to be utilized. (XY-Coincident
/ Blumlein, M-S)
The 2 sets of
pad, pattern select & LF rolloff switches
independently control the capsules. (Front
switches control the lower fixed grill/capsule
while the rear switches control the upper
rotating headgrill.)
The CK-40
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.
So many sonic and
spatial options are available with this
microphone and we encourage you to experiment
and use your ears as the final judge for stereo
panning spread, use of omni –vs- cardioid
or whether utilizing M-S miking techniques will
better serve your particular situation etc…
Uses
include:
Studio group
vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum
overheads, piano, room mic, etc…
The 3 patterns allow the CK-40 to be used in a
variety of situations including M-S recording.
The -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when
miking very high SPL sources to keep from
overloading the electronics.
The 80Hz HIGH-PASS filter switch can be engaged
to reduce rumble and to keep unwanted low
frequencies from “muddying up” the track.
