The Avantone Pro CK-6+ is a large-diaphragm, condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, well suited for capturing vocals, acoustic string instruments, drum overheads, piano, and more, in a professional or home studio environment. The mic features a 34mm / 6μm capsule, transformerless FET circuitry, and high-grade capacitors, allowing it to deliver an airy, open top end with a solid low end.

The CK-6+'s body is milled from a single piece of solid brass, which in combination with the included, custom shockmount, helps to prevent unwanted vibrations from reaching the capsule. A metallic, cabernet-red body finish, accented with polished nickel trim, gives the mic a retro look and feel.

The switchable, -10 dB pad allows you to close-mic high-SPL sources without overloading the circuitry, and a switchable, 80 Hz, low-frequency roll-off helps reduce problematic rumble and booming low frequencies.

The CK-6+ ships with a padded, wooden mic box and a padded aluminum storage/travel case.

Q: 10. How does this sound in an untreated room? Is it something I can correct in post, assuming the ambient noise isn't too great.

A: The Lewitt LCT 440 PURE Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone can be used in an untreated room, but results can vary depending on what type of audio is being recorded. Since the mic has a cardioid pattern, it will pick up sound from directly in front while rejecting ambient sounds from the back and sides. What you could do to isolate the mic and keep out any potential background noise is use a reflection filter like the Auray RF-5P-R Five-Panel Reflection Filter (B&H # AURF5PR), which has adjustable panels and can be used on a straight stand or placed on a tabletop. This setup should provide very good results.
