The Avantone CK-40 is one clean machine. It presents a balanced tone with a hint of "sparkle" that I just love. Clear lows, smooth mids, and dreamy highs that are not tinny or brittle. It is very m... read more [+]usical and pleasing. It's also an attractive piece of gear. It's sure to turn heads when you set it up.February 5, 2012 Music Background: Audio Engineer This is a GREAT microphone for stereo applications. This mic is quiet, accurate, and dynamically appealing for critical applications. In an X/Y cardioid configuration, the stereo separation achieved with this microphone is nothing short of stellar. It makes creating a stereo image during mix-down extremely easy since the mic has already done all of the hard work for you during tracking! My only gripe is that it seems to require a bit more gain than would be expected to achieve a usable level. This is not really an issue since the mic is so quiet, however, those with noisy mic-pres should take note. Overall, I could not be more pleased with the CK-40. close [-] Great Stereo Mic!

I had been using a matched pair of Rode NT-5 mics for drum overheads for about 5 years.

December 1, 2011 Music Background: Recording Engineer, musician Well this mic solved all my problems. The sound is warmer and I am able to 'position' the drums in the mix much better now. The XY configuration is easy and just plain great. I also tried the mic as a room mic using the M/S method and was impressed. Then I set it up in front of an acoustic guitar and this is now my goto Acoustic guitar mic. I am extremely happy I got this mic and will continue to use it on every session I do! close [-] Avantone Audio CK-40
