Avantone Pro CK-7 Plus Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Versatile Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Studio and Live Recording
The Avantone Pro CK-7 Plus Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is a high-performance multi-pattern microphone designed for professional and home studio applications. With an upgraded 34mm gold-sputtered Mylar capsule and premium internal components, this microphone delivers detailed, transparent sound with an extended frequency response. The CK-7 Plus offers three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—allowing for maximum versatility in different recording scenarios. Whether used for vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, or room miking, this microphone ensures superior audio quality with a warm and natural character.

Upgraded 34mm Gold-Sputtered Capsule for Detailed Sound Capture
The CK-7 Plus improves upon its predecessor with a larger 34mm gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm, designed to enhance sensitivity and capture more detail in recordings. This large-diaphragm design ensures accurate reproduction of both high and low frequencies, making it an excellent choice for capturing the full tonal range of instruments and vocals. Whether recording delicate acoustic guitar passages or powerful vocal performances, this microphone delivers a balanced, full-bodied sound.

Multipattern Flexibility for a Wide Range of Recording Applications
One of the standout features of the CK-7 Plus is its ability to switch between three polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8. This makes it an invaluable tool for engineers and producers who need flexibility in different recording situations. The cardioid pattern isolates sound sources and reduces background noise, while the omnidirectional setting captures a natural room sound. The figure-8 pattern is ideal for capturing two sound sources simultaneously, making it perfect for duets, interviews, and stereo recording techniques.

Premium Components for Clean and Transparent Audio
Avantone has equipped the CK-7 Plus with high-quality polystyrene and metalized-polypropylene capacitors, components that are typically used in high-end modified condenser microphones. These premium elements ensure a clean signal path, reducing distortion and delivering a warm, natural sound. The transformerless Class A FET circuit provides low noise performance and excellent transient response, making it ideal for professional-grade studio recordings.

Handles High SPL with a Built-In Pad and Highpass Filter
The CK-7 Plus is designed to handle high sound pressure levels, making it well-suited for recording drums, brass instruments, and electric guitar cabinets. The built-in -10 dB pad switch provides additional headroom for loud sources, preventing distortion. Additionally, the 80 Hz highpass filter reduces low-frequency rumble and unwanted background noise, ensuring clean and focused recordings. These features make it a highly adaptable microphone for both studio and live environments.

Rugged Construction with a Stylish Design
Built with a precision-machined brass housing, the CK-7 Plus is designed for durability and long-term reliability. Unlike microphones with plastic components, its solid metal construction provides electromagnetic shielding and protection against wear and tear. Finished in Avantone’s signature Cabernet Red with polished nickel trim, this microphone not only performs exceptionally well but also adds a professional aesthetic to any studio setup.

Complete Recording Package with Premium Accessories
Included with the CK-7 Plus is a custom retro shockmount, designed to isolate the microphone from vibrations and handling noise. A wooden storage box is provided for safekeeping, along with an aluminum travel case for added protection during transport. These accessories ensure that the microphone remains in top condition while providing convenient storage and portability for recording sessions on the go.
