The CK-40 is Avantone’s most versatile and essential FET-style mic. A pair of 35mm center-terminated, tightly-stacked pressure gradient transducers allow accurate stereo imaging without producing proximity-based phase issues. Each capsule features completely independent controls; a lowpass filter and -10db attenuation keep low-end interference to minimum at any sound level. The upper capsule/grill assembly can rotate up to 90 degrees off-axis with the lower capsule. Thanks to independent multi-pattern switching, XY, M-S and Blumlein stereo separation options are easily available and well-defined, without needing to touch the retro-style shock mount (included).
