    The Avantone "Cabernet (C-series)" mics are designed to offer true professional performance. They will meet or surpass the performance and specifications of much higher priced mics. The Avantone CR-14 is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance is comparable to some of the very finest Ribbon mics...but at a fraction of their cost!

    Our rugged CR-14 microphone body and inner assembly parts are precision machined of brass. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grill. The CR-14 has a unique, "retro" body design.

    The transformer coupled output will yield pleasing professional results comparable to much more expensive designs. Any studio can proudly offer the CR-14 as a guitar cabinet, room mic, drum overheads, vocal mic or utility room mic due to its versatility...It exudes class visually as well as sonically.

    Manufactured using the finest materials yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged reliability. The versatile CR-14 mic is able to produce professional results with a warm, pleasing sonic character.

    The included Custom Retro Shockmount is superb in allowing a precise positioning of the mic while inhibiting the transfer of unwanted vibrations up into the mic. This isolation allows for superior professional results.

    The CR-14's dual, low-mass ribbon element which enables a much better sensitivity rating than most single ribbon designs. This design lends to fast and accurate transient response, ultra-high 148 dB SPL capability, and overall stunning realism. It has a figure-8 audio directionality (pickup) pattern via front and rear, with extended sweet spots (as compared to Large Diaphragm condenser mics & single ribbon designs).

    The CR-14 has very low residual noise, with no internal active electronics to overload or produce distortion. It also requires no power supply.

  • Testimonials

    "The CR-14 is a "real deal" ribbon mic with all the natural sound I expect to capture from a classic. It is my new "go to" mic for a warm deep rich tone, rivaling ANY of my vintage classic ribbons."
    - Ray Kennedy | Producter/Engineer (Steve Earle, Ray Davies, Emmylou Harris, Chuck Mead, John Mellencamp, Lucinda Williams)

    "When it comes to capturing the sound of an instrument with a lot of mid-presence, the accuracy of the CR-14 is unbeatable...I am using it mainly on saxophone and my Hammond organ, but it also did a remarkable job on my own voice as well as other vocalists..."
    - Jon Tiven | Producer/Songwriter (BB King, Robert Plant, Wilson Pickett, PF Sloan, Howard Tate, etc)
