Avantone Pro CK-6 Plus

LARGE CAPSULE CARDIOID FET CONDENSER MICROPHONE

The Affordable Full Range Studio Work Horse

The workhorse of Avantone’s visually unmistakable Cabernet and Nickle finished “C-series” mics. The CK-6 utilizes a large diaphragm and transformer-less condenser circuit for accurate, colorless sound reproduction. A cardioid polar pattern helps the CK-6 focus on the objective, producing a clean sonic signature that resists bleed through. An independently switchable 80Hz high-pass filter can be engaged to further abate low frequency rumble.

The CK-6 is a multi-purpose mic: sensitive enough for use on vocal tracks and acoustic instruments, and strong enough to handle high volume amplified instruments (like an electric guitar cabinet). A -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when miking very high SPL sources to keep from overloading the electronics.

The CK-6 touts a solid low end, full midrange, and smooth, airy highs-all traits of top-quality pro-level FET-style large diaphragm condenser mics. Typical aftermarket modifications like metalized Polypropylene capacitors are built right into Avantone’s “stock” design. Avantone’s CK-6 proves that a high price tag isn’t a necessary trait of a great LDC studio mic.

Avantone CK-6 Plus

Avantone’s “Plus” package CK-6 features a slighty larger 32-millimeter diaphragm, that adds some low end, to an already pleasing bass response. The CK-6+ also comes accessorized with a protective wooden storage box and a 16-point “Retro” style shock mount (with extra bands), that fits inside a foam bedded steel travel case.
