Avant CU-2 USB Microphone Details

The AVANTONE CU-2 USB Mic is truly a gorgeous looking and sounding microphone. The design, character and performance can be compared directly to some of the very finest studio FET mics…but at a mere fraction of their cost!

The rugged CU-2 microphone body and capsule assembly are precision machined of BRASS. The heavy-duty grill is shiny nickel plated steel. The extra large 35mm gold sputtered/center-terminated Euro style capsule is a major improvement over other USB mics on the market which typically are using 19mm-27mm small capsules. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Metallic Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and grill.

The Discreet Class A FET/ USB circuitry will yield pleasing professional results directly comparable to very expensive studio condenser mics.

Any serious songwriter or podcaster can proudly use the CU-2 as a vocal mic or utility condenser due to its high quality and versatility…It exudes class visually as well as sonically and can perform professionally for you on any vocals, or instruments that you choose to record.

The CU-2 USB mic is truly “Plug & Play” capable. Simply connect the CU-2 via the included USB cable in to the USB 2.0 PORT on your computer and launch your DAW program.

Uses include:

Direct-to-computer vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, piano, room mic, podcasts etc…

The cardioid pattern is generally best used on vocals and single instruments. The -10dB attenuation switch can be engaged when miking very high SPL sources to keep from overloading the electronics. The 80Hz HIGH-PASS filter switch can be engaged to reduce rumble and to keep unwanted low frequencies from “muddying up” the track.
