Mods for the CK-6
- Microphone Parts
The sharp high-frequency peak of the Avant CK-6 can be revoiced with a flatter, broader presence peak by swapping the stock 32mm capsule with a 34mm RK-47, a copy of the Neumann K-47.

Avantone Pro CK-6
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The CK-6 is an inexpensive large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone. It has a fixed-cardioid, 32mm capsule (27mm active diaphragm diameter).
The condenser capsule has two diaphragms, but the rear Mylar is not sputtered (nor wired into the mic’s amplifier circuit).
Switches on the mic body provide a -10dB pad and a high-pass filter (a 6dB/octave roll-off below 80Hz).
The stated frequency range is 35 - 20,000 Hz, but the included frequency plot shows a -3dB point around 45Hz.
The output circuit is transformerless.
The mic ships with an elastic shockmount, a padded wooden storage box, and an aluminum flight case.
The Avantone Pro CK-6 is also known as: CK6.
The mic was released in 2006.
