Instant Stereo, Crazy Value!

Talk about versatility! The Avantone CK-40 is a stereo FET condenser microphone that's going to change the way you think about miking (and price/performance!). At an unbelievably awesome microphone, the CK-40 puts true stereo recording into your hands. Since the transducers are arranged vertically, the stereo imaging is practically flawless. Plus, you can even rotate around that top capsule up to 180 degrees, and engage three different pickup patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8) to cover a ton of recording techniques. This is the microphone for the no-fuss kind of recordist... AND the total tweakhead. What's more important? Well, the Avantone CK-40 sounds amazing.

Avantone has really built a name for themselves, holding true to their company-wide motto: "Affordable Excellence." Whatever you have to record... when it's time for a "stick it and forget it" session or a Scientific Method-type production where you're going to test and try everything under the sun to get the perfect result, you're going to be happy with the mega-versatile CK-40.
