Avantone CR-14 Dual Ribbon Microphone

The CR-14 is a dual-ribbon mic that combines a retro look with today’s technology to produce an amazingly warm and versatile ribbon mic. At the heart of the CR-14 is the dual, low-mass ribbon element which enables better sensitivity and faster transient response than a traditional single-element mic.

Being a ribbon mic, the CR-14 features a figure 8 polar pattern, and with the ability to handle an ultra-high 148 dB SPL (sound pressure level), you can use it without fear on even the loudest sources making this an exceptionally versatile ribbon mic. Use it on guitar amps, acoustic stringed instruments, drums, vocals, and more. And at this price, you can check "ribbon mic" off your list and still have plenty of your microphone budget left over.

The CR-14 is housed in a beautiful red-painted brass body and comes with a shockmount, wooden storage box and aluminum carrying case.

About Avant Electronics

Avantone design each of their microphones to fill a certain niche or perform a certain purpose, so lots of thought and intent goes into each of their models - they aren’t just copying other companies or building run-of-the-mill models.

Avant Electronics is a family run business who’s motto is “affordable excellence”. They are passionate musicians who are also business people, although they refer to their company as a family more often than as a business.

The people at Avant have decades of experience in the music business so they know good gear and good sound, and they also know that with great designs, forward-thinking innovation, and careful quality control, great gear doesn’t have to wipe out your bank account.

Every Avantone mic comes with a 5 year warranty and each mic is carefully checked and tested in the USA - it takes them some extra time but it’s all part of their commitment to excellence (and we suspect they enjoy it maybe just a little bit too).
