Avantone ProBV-1 Tube Condenser Microphone

Avantone Pro BV-1

Avantone's BV-1 is a flagship large-diaphragm tube condenser mic, delivering a wide selection of polar patterns and a rich sound that makes it great for lead vocals, primary instruments, and more. If you want your music to exude smoothness and warmth, BV-1 provides an excellent alternative to vintage tube microphones.

BV-1 offers nine selectable polar patterns, including standard polar patterns as well as several intermediate shapes for a highly customizable sonic response. This combined with the integrated pad and LF cut filter make it easy to fine-tune to any source. Its high quality construction (from the low-noise Russian 6072A tube and high-quality capacitors to the rugged chassis) and remarkable flexibility make it well-suited to a wide variety of tasks. No matter whether you're focused on capturing rich, smooth vocals or instruments that sit just right in your mix, the Avantone BV-1 is a stellar choice for virtually any sound source.

The BV-1 includes a dedicated power supply, a nickel-plated pop filter, retro-style shockmount, 15' cable, and a tweed/faux-alligator travel case, providing everything you need to keep it safe—and to take full advantage of its rich sonic character.
