Key Features

The Avantone BV-1 is designed to recording a wide range of different sources. From acoustic instruments to drums, there's no source that this tube microphone does not excel on. You'll be presented with a versatile work horse thanks to its -10dB pad and 80Hz roll off switch. These features allow you to get the sound right at the source instead of having to fix in the mix. The BV-1 offers a frequency response of 25Hz-20kHz, ensuring you capture every nuance of the original sound whilst removing any low end rumble. One of the most unique features of the BV-1 is the 9-pattern selector which is remotely controlled from the power supply (included). The patterns span between omnidirectional, figure-eight to cardioid and more, perfect for catering to different recording situations. The result is a defined yet warm sound, capturing the characteristics associated with classic tube microphones.
The BV-1’s aesthetic is designed to capture the essence of the vintage tube microphone used in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
