Maximum Low-end Impact
With a name that honors the memory of Led Zeppelin’s legendary drummer, the Avantone Pro Bonzo Bundle gives you everything you need to capture prodigious low-end punch from kick drums, bass cabs, and other low-frequency-intensive instruments. The bundle includes Avantone Pro’s Kick and Mondo microphones, along with a heavy-duty double-braced stand for Kick and an SSM Shockmount for Mondo. If you’re missing the low end from your bass instruments, you need the Avantone Pro Bonzo Bundle Bonzo Bundle from Sweetwater.

The classic sub-frequency Kick mic companion
Avantone Pro turned heads with its white-coned classic monitor speaker reproductions, the CLA10s. Now the company is resurrecting another studio standard in the Avantone Kick sub-frequency bass mic. Whether it’s the low-frequency belch of a bass cab or the visceral gut punch of a kick drum you’re trying to capture onstage or in the studio, the Kick and its special 6.5-inch white-coned transducer picks up the slack where other microphones fail. We’ve found the Kick to be a great complement to the Avantone Mondo, as well as a variety of standard bass mics. Just like the original, the Kick’s 6.5-inch press-formed driver comes mounted in a real birch drum shell and mounted to a double-braced stand for hassle-free positioning and long-lasting durability.
The Mondo: meet your new kick drum mic
The Avantone Pro Mondo is a cardioid dynamic mic purpose-built for bass drums. The Mondo’s aggressive frequency contour delivers huge kick drum sounds right out of the box, so you’ll likely find little need for EQ. It’s fat and massive sounding, with incisive attack and a satisfying weight that captures the full impact and low-frequency energy of the drum. Quality runs throughout the Avantone Pro line, which is evident in the Mondo’s die-cast zinc body and brass/steel grill assembly. Sweetwater engineers and drummers are impressed not only with the sound of these mics; their classy cabernet-red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grill, looks great onstage and in the studio.
