A kick drum mic that punches through a busy mix with little EQ. The Avantone Pro MONDO is a 2nd-generation cardioid dynamic microphone for kick drum and other low-frequency instruments. It is built for both studio and live use.
Why customers choose it
- Focused, punchy kick: bold, fast, aggressive voicing that Avantone says needs little if any EQ.
- Deep low end: 20 Hz – 15 kHz frequency response.
- Handles loud sources: 145 dB maximum SPL.
- Built like a tank: die-cast housing, brass, steel and brushed aluminium parts – no plastic.
- Mic stays put: two precision-machined inserts on the body lock into the shock mount, so the mic stays on the sweet spot however hard the drum is hit.
Who it is for
Drummers, live sound engineers, churches and studios – anyone who wants a solid kick sound fast. Also for bass cabinets and other low-frequency sources.

FAQ
Is the MONDO only for kick drum?
No. Avantone calls it a kick drum and low-frequency instrument mic, so it also suits bass amps.
