The Avantone CV-12 puts the classic tube mic sound into the hands of home and project studio engineers and musicians who want to record on their own. This versatile multi-pattern condenser adds charm and character to all kinds of acoustic instruments, horns and drums. The CV-12 is also a premiere vocal microphone, capturing all the breath and nuance of the singer in hair-raising detail. This mic has nine selectable polar patterns, allowing you to dial in as much or as little room and ambience as you desire for a particular track, and with switchable pad and bass rolloff and high SPL handling, there's nothing the CV-12 can't do.
