Avantone Pro CK-6+ Overview

The Avantone Pro CK-6+ is a large-diaphragm, condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, well suited for capturing vocals, acoustic string instruments, drum overheads, piano, and more, in a professional or home studio environment. The mic features a 34mm / 6μm capsule, transformerless FET circuitry, and high-grade capacitors, allowing it to deliver an airy, open top end with a solid low end.

The CK-6+'s body is milled from a single piece of solid brass, which in combination with the included, custom shockmount, helps to prevent unwanted vibrations from reaching the capsule. A metallic, cabernet-red body finish, accented with polished nickel trim, gives the mic a retro look and feel.

The switchable, -10 dB pad allows you to close-mic high-SPL sources without overloading the circuitry, and a switchable, 80 Hz, low-frequency roll-off helps reduce problematic rumble and booming low frequencies.

The CK-6+ ships with a padded, wooden mic box and a padded aluminum storage/travel case.

Avantone Pro CK-6+ Reviews

IS this mic good for live sound applications? ...

IS this mic good for live sound applications? Specifically drum over heads? Or would pencil condensers be a better option?
Asked by: Michael
Yes, the Avantone Pro CK-6+ Large Capsule Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone is a very good microphone for recording drum overheads. I has a maximum sound pressure level rating of 136 dB. Small diaphragm condenser microphones (pencil style mics) with similar specs are also suitable. Neither style is better than the other. It's a matter of personal preference, as well as whether you would want to be able to use the same mic for other applications, which many people often do. The CK-6+ is a versatile mic that can be used for numerous recording applications.
