Avantone CK-7+

The selectable patterns—cardioid, omni, and figure-8—give you significant flexibility in how you capture sound. Cardioid is ideal for isolating a single source like vocals, omni is perfect for capturing room ambiance or group performances, and figure-8 is excellent for duets or mid-side stereo recording techniques.

Yes, this is a true condenser microphone that requires standard 48V phantom power from your audio interface or preamp to operate. Ensure your equipment is capable of providing this voltage via the XLR connection.

The large 35mm gold-sputtered Mylar capsule is designed to capture a wide frequency range with high sensitivity. This results in a detailed, smooth response that handles both the subtle nuances of acoustic instruments and the power of vocal performances without sounding harsh.

With a maximum SPL of 139 dB, the CK-7+ is capable of handling relatively loud sound sources without distortion. This makes it a versatile choice for recording guitar cabinets or drums, in addition to quieter studio tasks.

The microphone ships with a custom shock mount to isolate it from stand vibrations and a protective flightcase to keep the unit safe during storage or transport.
