Avantone MONDO Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
This is the 2nd generation MONDO kick drum microphone from Avantone and a
great deal of R&D effort has culminated in this rugged, great
sounding mic. We feel it represents the very finest kick drum microphone
available, both for live clubs & concerts, as well as serious
studio recording projects.
The Avantone MONDO kick drum offers a very aggressive frequency contour
that sounds huge right out of the box, so most engineers will find
little need for EQ.
Each Avantone MONDO kick drum mic is die cast from zinc, with a brass
and steel grill assembly. As with all of our mics, there is NO PLASTIC
to break! Aesthetically, each mic features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red
finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grill assembly.
All components are designed and manufactured using the finest materials
yielding a very solid feel, superb structural integrity and rugged
reliability.
The Avantone MONDO features internal shockmounting on the capsule
assembly to prevent the transmission of unwanted "rumble" from physical
vibrations.
A unique feature of all our drum mics is pair of machined insets on the
barrel of the microphone body. These insets allow the O-rings of the SSM
shockmount to "lock" the mic into place, which prevents mic shifting
and slippage.
The included SSM shock mount is as rugged as you can find and allows for
a superb decoupling of the mics from unwanted low-frequency transfer
and rumble. This feature results in a much tighter, less muddy sound
than other brands of drum mics. The O-rings are manufactured using a
custom formula. The new world class Ethylene Propylene formula provides
enormous resistance to breakage, resistance to surface nicks and remains
supple and effective even against dry, hot temperatures. It is
resistant to ozone and weathering, which makes it great for use around
electronics devices, and maintains its physical properties even in a
stretched condition. Each SSM is constructed of heavy-duty die-cast
zinc, which is not only incredibly durable but also adds mass, which
contributes to vibration dampening/decoupling.
We round out the package with a rugged custom-molded and padded case to safely store and transport your Avantone mic.
The Avantone MONDO kick drum mic, SSM shockmount, and included carrying
case are each inspected, tested, and carefully packed here in New York.
The Avantone ADM snare drum mic is a truly gorgeous looking and sounding
microphone. Its proprietary design, character and performance is made
to set a new standard in drum miking. Any studio or venue can proudly
& confidently offer the Avantone ADM for professional use during
recording or live performance.
