Avantone Pro MONDO Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
The Avantone Pro MONDO Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone is purpose-built to capture the deep, impactful sound of bass drums with precision and clarity. Designed specifically for bass drum applications, the MONDO’s aggressive frequency contour ensures you get massive, punchy kick drum sounds right out of the box, requiring little to no EQ adjustment. Whether you're in the studio or performing on stage, the MONDO is engineered to bring out the best in your bass drum, delivering a full, rich sound that cuts through the mix. This mic is ideal for capturing the visceral low-end energy of your kick drum while maintaining a sharp, defined attack.

Massive Sound with Exceptional Clarity
The MONDO mic is designed to reproduce kick drum sounds with a fat, massive tone that retains clarity and punch. It has a frequency response range of 20Hz–15kHz, allowing it to capture the full spectrum of bass drum energy, from deep lows to crisp highs. The mic’s frequency contour gives it an incisive attack that accentuates the transient response of the kick while preserving the low-end weight that makes the sound feel as powerful as it sounds. The result is a microphone that provides the full impact of the kick drum without any muddiness or unwanted coloration, ensuring your recordings or live performances sound clean, dynamic, and impactful.

Durable Build Quality with Stylish Design
The Avantone Pro MONDO microphone is built with durability in mind. Its die-cast zinc body and brass/steel grill assembly are designed to withstand the rigors of both studio and live performance environments. The rugged construction ensures that this microphone can handle the high-pressure demands of bass drum applications without compromising sound quality. In addition to its excellent performance, the MONDO features a classy Cabernet-red finish with polished nickel trim and a black grill, making it an eye-catching addition to your microphone collection. This combination of durable build and stylish aesthetics ensures the MONDO is as impressive visually as it is sonically.

Innovative Internal Shockmount for Enhanced Performance
A hidden feature of the Avantone Pro MONDO is its internal shockmounting system, which helps prevent unwanted rumble from structure-borne vibrations. This shockmounting system ensures that any low-frequency energy or vibrations from the floor or other surfaces do not interfere with the mic's performance, allowing for a cleaner and more focused sound. Additionally, the microphone is mounted securely in place using machined insets on the barrel of the mic body, ensuring that the included SSM shockmount’s O-rings remain firmly in position. This shockmount system allows for better isolation and greater precision, particularly during high-energy live performances or rigorous studio sessions.

High-Quality Accessories for Convenience and Protection
The Avantone Pro MONDO comes with a number of accessories designed to make your setup easier and more reliable. The included SSM shockmount is a high-quality, heavy-duty device that effectively isolates the microphone from low-frequency energy and structure-borne vibrations, further improving the clarity and focus of your sound. The shockmount is made from a custom ethylene propylene formula that resists breakage and surface nicks while remaining effective in hot and dry climates. The MONDO also ships with a custom-molded, padded carrying case that keeps your microphone and shockmount safe during transport or storage, ensuring the longevity and protection of your equipment during tours or studio moves.
