The vintage warmth of a vacuum tube is among the most sought-after qualities that almost every serious musician and producer goes after in every piece of gear they encounter. Likewise, microphones capable of multiple polar patterns are efficient and space-saving multipurpose tools that cover almost all mic'ing needs. Combining both into what boasts to be a boundless piece of gear, Avant Electronics Avantone BV-1 makes its way to capture that much sought-after studio magic.

The Avantone BV-1 is a multi-pattern tube microphone designed to capture any audio source ranging from voice to instruments with warmth and clarity. It is equipped with a low-noise 6072A tube as well as premium-grade capacitors and resistors. An edge-terminated, custom-designed and voiced 34-mm/3-micron dual capsule assembly delivers that exceptional sensitivity with an open, rich texture to deliver a smooth and airy quality without being harsh. The vintage-style power supply offers nine selectable polar patterns to give that versatility for various purposes. The microphone unit itself is finished off with a "Retro-Buttercream" finish with polished Nickel trim. These spectrum of characteristics make the Avantone BV-1 a fresh microphone that rivals all vintage ones in terms of function, quality, and even appearance.
