Avantone BV-1 Tube Condensor Microphone

Buttery, Rich, and Smooth... the BV-1 is "That" Mic!

The BV-1 is a perfect fit as a go-to vocal microphone, as it just exudes class, both in its appearance and in its response. Although, you'll love how acoustic guitar, mandolin, drum overheads, percussion, and piano sound through your Avantone BV-1.
