Avantone Pro BV-1 MKII Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

Premium Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone for Studio-Grade Performance
The Avantone Pro BV-1 mkII is a high-performance large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed to capture vocals and instruments with warmth, depth, and vintage character. Featuring a custom-designed Cinemag output transformer and a hand-selected 34mm CK12-style capsule, this microphone delivers a full-bodied sound with a rich low end, detailed midrange, and an airy high-frequency response. Whether you are recording lead vocals, acoustic instruments, or drum overheads, the BV-1 mkII provides a luxurious and professional-quality tone that sits perfectly in any mix.

Continuously Variable Polar Pattern for Unmatched Versatility
Unlike traditional microphones with preset polar patterns, the BV-1 mkII offers a continuously variable polar pattern selection. A dedicated dial on the power supply allows seamless transitions between omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8 patterns, as well as hybrid variations in between. This feature gives engineers and producers unprecedented control over room ambience, off-axis rejection, and source isolation, making it an ideal tool for various recording applications.

High-End Components for Superior Sound Reproduction
Avantone Pro spared no expense in designing the BV-1 mkII with premium-grade components. The microphone incorporates capacitors from six different boutique manufacturers, ensuring the highest level of sonic fidelity. The custom Cinemag transformer enhances signal clarity and depth, while the low-noise 6072A vacuum tube delivers classic analog warmth without introducing excessive noise. These carefully chosen components contribute to the BV-1 mkII’s balanced sound, making it a go-to choice for professional recording studios.

Vintage-Inspired Design with Modern Refinements
Built with a robust metal housing, the BV-1 mkII exudes a classic vintage aesthetic while incorporating modern refinements for reliability and performance. The microphone's commanding proximity effect adds extra weight and depth to vocal recordings, making it an excellent choice for intimate performances and spoken word applications. With its ultra-low self-noise and high SPL handling, this microphone excels in a variety of recording environments, from delicate acoustic sessions to loud, dynamic performances.

Complete Recording Package with Premium Accessories
The BV-1 mkII comes with an extensive set of high-quality accessories, ensuring that you have everything needed for a professional recording setup. The package includes a dedicated external power supply, a high-end 7-pin connecting cable, a shockmount to reduce unwanted vibrations, and a plush-lined wooden storage box for safekeeping. Additionally, a rugged hardshell road case is included for secure transport, making this microphone a reliable choice for both studio and mobile recording sessions.
