Stereo design with rotatable capsule gives you a range of sonic and spatial options
Apart from the amazing sound you’ll get from the CK-40 stereo FET condenser, you’re going to be amazed by just how versatile this microphone is — especially when you consider the affordable price. The Avantone CK-40 has two large-diaphragm transducers arranged vertically, for accurate stereo imaging without issues with phase. Beyond that, you can rotate the upper capsule up to 90 degrees, so you can take advantage of a wide range of miking techniques.

Switches between three pickup patterns for tailoring your sound
Let your ears be the final judge as you rotate the CK-40 microphone’s upper capsule, taking advantage such miking techniques as XY, Blumlein, and MS. Because both of the microphones on the CK-40 can switch among cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure 8 polar patterns, you have a wide variety of sonic and spatial options to experiment with as you tune in the perfect stereo image for your track.
