The Avantone BV-12 is a high quality multi-pattern tube microphone that looks as beautiful as it sounds. Based on the vintage mics of the 1950s and 60s, it both performs and looks like its influences.
The BV-12 features a choice of different polar patterns, including Omni, Cardioid and Figure-8 and a selection of 'in-between' combo patterns, a -10dB pad and 80Hz roll off for controlling hot signal and cleaning up the low end respectively. All this, combined with a 20Hz-20kHz frequency range and a dual sided 34mm edge-terminated gold-sputtered Mylar capsule, give the BV-12 a warm and pleasing character.
The Avantone BV-12 comes with a retro shockmount, a PS-1 multi-pattern power supply, a Mogami GoldStudio Pro 15' 7-pin XLR for connecting the mic to the PSU and both a wooden box for the mic itself and wood-sided tweed travel case for the mic and all accessories.
