Description

Teaming up with Black Lion Audio in Chicago, Avantone offers the CV-12 BLA, a modified version of the company's popular CV-12 multi-pattern large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone. It features a 34mm CK12-style capsule, a 6072A tube output stage, a power supply with low-noise circuitry, and delivers a warm, vintage tone with a flatter frequency response and greater headroom than the original. Designed to work as a utility mic in the studio, this microphone is ideal for capturing vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, room ambience, piano, and more.

The power supply features a nine-position polar pattern knob that enables you to choose between omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8, or positions in-between to optimize the pickup of the sound source. In addition, there is a 10 dB pad switch for close-miking loud instruments and voices without unwanted distortion, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter for minimizing low-frequency rumble.

The CV-12 BLA comes with a Jetsun shockmount, which allows instruments and windscreens to get very close to the capsule for increased proximity effect. The unit ships with a padded wooden box to protect the mic and a deluxe faux-alligator case to transport the mic, power supply, and accessories in style.
