The MONDO Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone from Avantone is a ruggedly designed kick drum microphone with an elegant finish that is also well suited for bass cabinets and other low-frequency signal capturing. The MONDO delivers aggressive frequency contouring and accentuates bass frequencies, leaving engineers to make very little EQ adjustments in both live sound reinforcement and recording applications alike. The dynamic capsule is capable of handling high SPL before distortion and is internally shockmounted for a high degree of resistance against structure-born noise. Its elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish features nickel trim, rugged black grill and absolutely no breakable plastic components. The microphone includes a shockmount (SSM) and rugged padded carrying case.
The ADM Dynamic Snare Drum Microphone from Avantone is a ruggedly designed snare drum microphone with an elegant finish that is also well suited for percussion, guitar cabinets, and instruments. The ADM delivers a transparent, familiar snare drum sound for recording and live sound reinforcement. It features an extended low frequency response and extended high-end, making it a versatile solution for a multitude of signal sources. The dynamic capsule is capable of handling high SPL before distortion and features a cardioid polar pattern.
Its elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish features a nickel trim, rugged black grill and no breakable plastic components. The microphone is shipped with their PK-1 Pro-Klamp drum rim mount. The mount allows for close, adjustable positioning without bulky microphone stands, and is constructed with three stages of rubber dampening and decoupling material to suppress noise caused by vibration and rigorous playing. A shockmount (SSM) and rugged padded carrying case are also included.
The ATOM Dynamic Tom Microphone from Avantone is a ruggedly designed tome microphone that is well suited for congas, bass cabinets, and other similar instruments. The ATOM delivers large low-end and fast, penetrating attacks for recording and live sound reinforcement. Its big-tone requires little or no EQ processing and the dynamic capsule is capable of handling high SPL before distortion, and features a cardioid polar pattern.
Its elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish features nickel trim, rugged black grill and no breakable plastic components. The microphone is shipped with a PK-1 Pro-Klamp drum rim mount.

The CK-1 Small-Capsule FET Pencil Microphone from Avantone features a durable pencil microphone design with a Cabernet Wine-Red finish, nickel trim, and a black grille. It is suitable for capturing overheads (cymbals), acoustic instruments, amplifier cabinets, and vocals. The CK-1 offers an interchangeable capsule design and includes three condenser capsules with cardioid, omnidirectional and hypercardioid polar patterns. The condenser capsules combined with an FET output stage provide clear detail and high-quality audio. There is a -10 dB pad (attenuation) switch and an 80 Hz high-pass filter switch for minimizing low-frequency noise. The microphone includes an SSM shockmount and a padded wooden carrying case.
The Avantone SSM Professional Shockmount greatly reduces microphone noise caused by vibration, handling, etc. The SSM features a weighty, all-metal construction that makes it durable and further aids against energy transference that may cause noise. Its 4 o-ring suspension bands are durable and made of a resilient ethylene propylene material that is highly resistant to breaks and tears. The o-rings may be attached horizontally, vertically, or crossed for added tension. The SSM will successfully mount Avantone microphones, or third-party microphones measuring 0.74 - 0.86" (19 - 22mm) in diameter.
