AVANTONE PRO : BV-1 AVANTONE PRO

Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone, Multi-pattern, with 25Hz-20kHz Frequency Response, Retro-style Shockmount, Detachable Pop Filter, and Wooden Box

There's good reason the BV-1 tube condenser microphone belongs to Avantone's "Buttercream B Series." It's because this microphone gives you that hard-to-describe buttery smoothness, professional richness, and sonically sweet and airy top end — it's a very surprising tube microphone when you consider its affordable price. The BV-1 is a perfect fit as a go-to vocal microphone, as it just exudes class, both in its appearance and in its response. Although, you'll love how acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, percussion, and piano sound through your Avantone BV-1.
