Product Description

Here's What Avantone Say About the CV-12

The Avantone “Cabernet (C-series)” mics are designed to offer true professional performance. They will meet or surpass the performance and specifications of much higher priced mics.

The CV-12 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance is comparable to some of the fine vintage tube mics of the 1950’s & 1960’s…but at a fraction of their cost!

The versatile CV-12 mic is able to produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character.
Our rugged CV-12 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of brass. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grill. The transformer coupled tube circuitry has its origins in famous European vintage designs. Any studio can proudly offer the CV-12 as a primary vocal mic…It exudes class visually as well as sonically. Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability.

The versatile CV-12 mic is able to produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character. The included Custom Retro Shockmount is superb in allowing a precise positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This isolation allows for superior professional results.

Trusted Customer13th Dec 2020

Excellent sounding microphone especially on female vocals, smooth and warm, with a bright top end that is not harsh. It is in the affordable range for a high end audio product so inevitably certain things are made to a lower standard than the really high end stuff ( mic inputs on the power unit are a bit wobbly and don’t feel sturdy) but you have to expect this on a product that sounds very close to a 10k microphone but costs less than £500. If you want to record high end in your home studio then I can highly recommend the Avantone CV-12.

Great microphone, exactly what I wanted. Captures great sounding vox ready for mixing. The tube adds a load of warmth that solid state microphones can’t replicate. Would definitely recommend!
