Overview

Custom tube microphone with travel case.

The Avantone "Buttercream (B-series)" are premium microphones designed to offer true professional performance. They will meet or surpass the performance and specifications of some much higher-priced mics. The Avantone BV-12 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance is comparable to some of the fine vintage tube mics of the 1950s and 1960s ... but at a fraction of the cost.

The rugged BV-12 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of brass. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Buttercream baked-on finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grille. The transformer coupled tube circuitry has its origins in famous European vintage designs.

Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability. Any studio can proudly offer the BV-12 as a primary vocal mic as it exudes class visually as well as sonically. The included Custom Retro shockmount is superb in allowing a precise positioning of the mic while inhibiting the unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This isolation allows for superior professional results.
