Well, I do like the quality of Avantone Mics. They are affordable and offer you quality. “Speak now” and “Fearless” of Taylor Swift were recorded with a CV-12, then it may be a good quality mic. ?
I have the Focusrite Studio Bundle. The audio interface is the Scarlett 2i2 and I use the Condenser Mic that comes with. I just bought a Tube Mic (Avantone CV-12) to make mid-sided recordings with the condenser mic that I already have, but I forgot for a while that the tube Mic has its own power...
