Key Features
Product Ref: 319630
The Avantone CV-12’s hand-selected 6072A vacuum tube is at the heart of its rich, warm sound. This tube helps deliver the organic tone that vintage microphones are known for, making the CV-12 a great option for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, and more with exceptional detail. Whether you’re recording delicate whispers or powerful performances, this tube brings warmth and clarity to your tracks, enhancing their presence in the mix. Additionally, its 32mm gold-sputtered diaphragm ensures that every sound is captured with pristine accuracy, resulting in professional-level recordings every time.
Offering nine different polar patterns, the Avantone CV-12 gives you the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of recording environments. Whether you need a cardioid pattern for isolating vocals, an omni-directional setting for capturing room ambience, or anything in between, the CV-12 delivers. This makes it ideal for everything from close-up vocal work to micing grand pianos or drum overheads in open studio spaces. With the ability to experiment and find the best setting for each recording, you’ll get the most out of your microphone every session.
The Avantone CV-12 is designed to handle a variety of sound sources, from soft acoustic instruments to louder drums or amplifiers. Its -10dB pad reduces the input signal, preventing distortion on louder recordings. This is particularly useful when capturing high-output sound sources like drum overheads or brass instruments. Additionally, the 80Hz high-pass filter eliminates unwanted low-frequency rumble, ensuring that your recordings are crisp and clean. These features give you complete control over the recording process, allowing you to maintain professional sound quality in any situation.
Built with a rugged brass body, the Avantone CV-12 is designed to withstand the rigours of professional studio use. The elegant Cabernet red finish with polished nickel accents adds a touch of class to any setup, while its solid construction ensures lasting durability. The included custom retro shockmount allows for precise positioning of the microphone while isolating it from vibrations. This prevents any unwanted noise from being transferred into the microphone, resulting in clearer, more accurate recordings. The shockmount is especially useful for delicate studio work, where even the smallest vibration could affect the final result.
