 CR-14  AVANTONE 

 Professional Studio Ribbon Mic 

 

This elegantly designed bi-directional (figure-8) velocity ribbon microphone is intended for use in modern state-of-the-art studios as well as private home studios. It offers the unique, pleasing sonic character that is similar to those classic ribbon mics of yesteryear. The special dual-ribbon design offers a better sensitivity rating than most single ribbon mics on the market. You will also find that it does NOT exhibit the very dark, muted character of some ribbon mics...on the contrary, you will find it to be full-range with a very natural, detailed sound. The "in-phase" signal is achieved when the microphone is addressed from the front side of the mic (where the Avantone logo is shown).

 

The CR-14 excels in a host of uses including studio solo vocals, group vocals and simultaneous vocal duets. Users also report extremely good results on piano, electric guitar cabs and acoustic guitars. The inherent natural sound of the CR-14 makes it a great choice for orchestral, woodwind & brass instruments as well as hand-percussion instruments. Very interesting and satisfying tracks can also be achieved using (2) CR-14's for stereo tracking.
