Today I review an affordable condenser mic, the Avantone CK-6 Classic. This mic has a controlled low end with a gooey low mid section and a more midforward sound with an apparent top end that does sound a bit recessed compared to similar priced mics. The big draw back to this mic is the ringing and resonance of it, so if you touch this mic it will ring like a bell.
