General

The Avantone CK-1 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone out of the Cabernet series (C series). This series is well-known for its intuitive controls and attractive price. The Avantone CK-1 can be used in a variety of situations, and has a full, open and warm sound thanks to the built-in FET circuit. Its design and performances definitely rival those of more expensive microphones.

CK-1: FET circuit and replaceable capsules

The FET circuit of the Avantone CK-1 ensures that you can enjoy the warmth and openness of a tube microphone, but with the technical advantages and reliability of a solid state mic. It comes with three replaceable capsules. Every capsule has its own pickup pattern (cardioid, hyper-cardioid and omnidirectional), so that you can select the optimal manner of registration for each situation.

Complete delivery

Besides three different capsules, the Avantone CK-1 comes with a stylish, lined wooden box, a manual and an SSM shock mount. The latter ensures that you won't be bothered by ambient noise from vibrations from the stand. The Avantone CK-1 is a versatile microphone and it's fit for choirs and nearly any instrument, like cymbals, Hi-hats, acoustic guitars, overhead, piano, percussion, etc.

Net als de rest van de reviewers, geweldige mic!

Ik heb kleinmembraam mics gehad van onder andere Se Electronics en Audio Technica, maar de Avantone komt er met kop en schouder bovenuit.

Niet alleen door de super heldere klank maar ook door de meerdere capsules en zeer solide shockmount samen gepresenteerd in een zeer mooi houten doosje, kan je niet fout gaan met deze microfoon.
En ik beloof je dat je er geen spijt van zult krijgen.

(ik heb gelijk een tweede gekocht toen ik de eerste hoorde)

Wat zijn deze microfoons fantastisch ! Ik heb ze vergeleken met goede grootmembraam microfoons van o.a. Groove Tubes, maar de Avantone klonk in meerdere opzichten beter. Een mooi hoog met meer detail en ook erg dynamisch in het laag. Bijna onvoorstelbaar voor dit bedrag. Echt een aanrader voor diverse toepassingen.

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Trois capsules avec des sonorités très différentes. Sur un oud : cardio brillante qui claque dans les aigus avec bruit propre élevé, omni naturelle avec le moins de bruit propre des trois, hypercardio qui renforce les basses et isole le mieux la source. La suspension est un métal et n'isole pas très bien, mais elle a l'avantage d'être vendu avec le micro. Les boutons de réglage, la colle autour des grilles et les petites vis font un peu cheap, à voir avec le temps...

Ik heb de Avantone pro CK-1 net in mijn bezit en man wat een geweldige mic is dit!

Voor Blumlein geluid-registratie van koor en orkest,
maak ik regelmatig opnamen in concert zalen en kerken. Deze Avantone pro CK-1 doet het heel erg goed op koren, maar is ook geweldig voor percussie en x-y of ORTF opnamen.

Het is een poor man's Neumann kan ik wel zeggen. Zijde zacht hoog en een neutrale respons maar toch ook warm van klank en zeer goede impulsiviteit, dynamisch en ruimtelijk. Kan zich meten met microfoons die tot 10x duurder zijn!

Kort om als je een goede mic zoekt voor bovenstaande toepassingen... this is it!

Groetjes,
Vincent
