The Avantone Pro CK-1 Small-Capsule FET Pencil Microphone is designed with both durability and style in mind, featuring a striking Cabernet Wine-Red finish, complemented by nickel trim and a black grille. Versatile in application, it is ideal for capturing cymbal overheads, acoustic instruments, amplifier cabinets, and even vocals.
Interchangeable Capsules and Polar Patterns
The CK-1 stands out with its interchangeable capsule system, coming equipped with three condenser capsules. Users can select between cardioid, omnidirectional, and hypercardioid polar patterns, tailoring the microphone’s response to their specific recording needs.
Audio Quality and FET Output Stage
By integrating high-quality condenser capsules with an FET (Field Effect Transistor) output stage, the CK-1 ensures the delivery of clear, detailed, and high-fidelity audio recordings across various sources.
Attenuation and High-Pass Filter
To enhance flexibility and control, the microphone includes a -10 dB pad (attenuation) switch, enabling the handling of high sound pressure levels without distortion. An 80 Hz high-pass filter switch helps minimize unwanted low-frequency noise and rumble during recording.
Included Accessories
The CK-1 package comes complete with an SSM shockmount for effective isolation from mechanical vibrations, as well as a padded wooden carrying case, ensuring safe transport and convenient storage.
