You Want Radio-ready Vocals? Here You Are!

There's good reason the BV-1 tube condenser microphone belongs to Avantone's "Buttercream B Series." It's because this microphone features that hard-to-describe buttery smoothness, pro richness, and sonically sweet and airy top end — it's a totally surprising tube microphone when you consider its value-packed 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.
