Whether you're recording vocals, drum kits, or guitar amps, this microphone delivers smooth, natural sound with a distinctive retro-style aesthetic.

Built with Premium Components for Superior Performance
The CR-14 is constructed with an elegant brass body that not only gives it a sophisticated look but also contributes to its durability and overall performance. The low-mass dual ribbon elements provide excellent transient response, which means the mic picks up the subtle nuances of any sound source with remarkable precision. Its ability to handle ultra-high sound pressure levels (up to 145dB) ensures that it performs well even in high-volume scenarios like close-mic’d guitar amps or loud drum kits.

Figure-8 Pickup Pattern for Flexible Recording
The Avantone Pro CR-14 utilizes a figure-8 pickup pattern, which captures sound from both the front and rear of the microphone. This design allows for a wider range of sweet spots, making it ideal for applications like room or ambient miking, as well as precise stereo recording setups. The ability to capture sound from both sides of the mic ensures that your recordings have a full, balanced sound that captures all the details you need in your studio projects.

Low Noise and No Power Supply Needed
Unlike many modern microphones, the CR-14 is designed with no internal active electronics that could potentially overload or introduce distortion. This ensures a clean, natural sound free from unwanted noise. Additionally, the CR-14 does not require an external power supply, making it easy to use in a variety of recording setups without additional hassle or equipment. The lack of a power supply also means there are fewer components to potentially fail, ensuring reliability and longevity.

Included Accessories for Convenient Setup
The CR-14 comes with several essential accessories to help you get started right away. Included in the package are a shockmount, a wooden storage box, and a metal carrying case. These accessories not only protect the microphone but also ensure that it is easy to transport and set up in your studio. Whether you're on the go or storing your mic safely at home, these additions make the CR-14 an even more valuable tool in your audio arsenal.

Sleek Design and Durable Build
With a polished nickel trim and a striking metallic wine red body, the Avantone Pro CR-14 is as visually appealing as it is functional. The mic’s body features a black grille that adds to its stylish look. Despite its sleek appearance, the CR-14 is built to last, featuring a solid and durable design. Weighing in at just 16 ounces and measuring 1.45" x 6.89" in size, this microphone is both lightweight and compact, making it easy to integrate into your existing studio setup without taking up much space.
