Avantone "Cabernet (C-Series)" pickups are designed to deliver true professional performance. They will meet or exceed the performance and specs of much more expensive mics. The CV-12 is truly a beautiful looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance are comparable to some of the best vintage tube mics of the 1950s and 1960s...but at a fraction of the price!
Our rugged CV-12 microphone body and capsule are precision machined from brass. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented by polished nickel trim and grille. The transformer-coupled tube circuit has its origins in famous European vintage designs. Any studio can proudly offer the CV-12 as their primary vocal mic...it exudes class visually and sonically. Manufactured using the finest materials giving a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability.
The versatile CV-12 pickup is capable of producing professional results with a warm and pleasing sonic character. The included Custom Retro Shockmount is superb at allowing precise mic positioning while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibration into the mic. This isolation allows for superior professional results.
