Features
Delivering massive sound and superior vintage tube warmth, the BV-1 mkII Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone from Avantone lives up to the legacy of its predecessor and then some, with a handpicked CK12-style, edge-terminated, dual-sided capsule and boutique capacitor electronics that provide enormous bottom-end and smooth, yet airy top-end. A vintage-style external PSU delivers reliable and consistent power to the BV-1 mkII over its custom 7-pin XLR cable, and it sports nine variable polar patterns, ranging from omnidirectional and cardioid to figure-8, making the Avantone BV-1 mkII a versatile studio mic that can handle nearly any sound source.

Percussion, piano, strings, brass, winds, and even amplified cabinets are no problem for this microphone with convenient high-pass filter and -10 dB pad onboard switches that can adjust to most recording scenarios, and the inherent proximity effect adds body and presence to vocals, making it easy to produce world-class vocal recordings. The BV-1 mkII comes with a plethora of accessories including a wooden microphone hard case, a shockmount for rumble-free recording, a pop filter and windscreen for plosives mitigation, cables for power and connection to the PSU, and a large, durable road case that stores your mic and all of its accessories for easy transport to and from the studio.

Handpicked Electronics
The BV-1 mkII is durable and constructed from handpicked components. Everything from the boutique capacitors, to the 34mm CK12-style capsule, to the transformer and Russian tubes are carefully selected for their sound quality. With its external PSU and massive bottom-end, this tube mic exudes vintage style with plenty of substance.

  • Carefully selected boutique capacitors from Solen, Nichicon, Wima, Elna, Kyocera, and Epcos
  • Custom Cinemag output transformer with isolated output for minimal noise
  • Handpicked, edge-terminated 34mm CK12-style capsule with dual sides and gold-sputtered mylar diaphragm
  • Select low-noise Russian 6072A tube
  • Ultra-high quality Sommer 7-pin XLR cable with thick gauge conductors for valve heater
Premium Features for the Studio
Avantone ensured that the BV-1 mkII would excel in the studio not just as a world-class vocal mic, but also as a general studio workhorse. With onboard pad and HPF switches as well as appreciably high max SPL levels and a wide, smooth frequency response, this mic is ready to record nearly anything.

  • 80 Hz high-pass filter switch for rolling off bass to eliminate rumble
  • -10 dB pad switch for a high maximum SPL of 144 dB, perfect for loud sound sources like amplified cabs or drums
  • Variable polar patterns, selectable on the PSU, with nine total patterns including cardioid, omni, and bidirectional
  • Proximity effect adds body and presence to vocals
  • Wide and smooth frequency response of 25 Hz to 20 kHz
Everything You Need
The BV-1 mkII includes a suite of all the accessories you need. Along with the external PSU and all necessary cables, such as the PSU power cable and custom Sommer 7-pin XLR cable, the mic also comes with vital studio accessories. A hardshell briefcase keeps everything together; even the included wooden presentation box that stores the microphone itself. The included shockmount holds the microphone snug, and the included pop filter helps recording in even the toughest environments.
