Avantone Pro - AV-MONDO

Description

MONDO

The 2nd generation MONDO kick drum microphone from Avantone 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 mic 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 Avantone mics, there is NO PLASTIC to break!

A unique feature of all Avantone 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, coupled with the use of the Pro-Klamps (not included), results in a much tighter, less muddy sound than other brands of drum mics. 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.
