The Avantone CR-14 microhpone's design, character and performance is comparable to some of the very finest Ribbon mics, but at a fraction of their cost. 
The rugged CR-14 microphone body and inner assembly parts are precision machined of brass. Aesthetically, it features an elegant Cabernet Wine-Red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grill. The CR-14 has a unique, "retro" body design.
