Avantone Pro / CV-12

The Avantone Cabernet (C Series) is a premium microphone designed to deliver true professional performance. Design, character, and performance rival some of the finest vintage tube mics of the 1950s and 1960s.

The rugged CV-12 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined from brass. The exterior is finished in an elegant Cabernet Wine Red, accented with polished nickel trim and grille. You can confidently serve the CV-12 as your primary vocal mic in any studio. Manufactured using the highest grade materials for an extremely solid feel, superior structural integrity, and rugged reliability.

The versatile CV-12 microphone has a warm and soothing sound character. The included custom retro shock mount allows for precise positioning of the mic while reducing unwanted vibration transmission to the mic. This isolation provides superior and professional results.
