Expect the clear truthful details and warm lows, that started the ribbon mic resurgence. The CR-14 also has ample high frequency character that’s only expected from ribbon mic’s that cost far more. Utilizing an updated dual-ribbon design, the CR-14 features extra high sensitivity, and a potent 148 db. SPL capability. Additionally, the dual ribbon “diaphragm” features a larger sweet spot, on both sides of the figure 8 polar pattern, making mic placement fast and easy.
Like any great Ribbon mic, Avantone’s CR-14 is great for vocals, loud guitar/bass cabs, Drum overhead, or room mic and it’s entirely passive- That means no overloading, distortion, or bulky power supply to get in the way of you and the sound you’re after.
