Meet your new kick drum microphone

The Avantone Pro MONDO is a dynamic cardioid microphone designed specifically for bass drums. The MONDO's aggressive frequency contour delivers huge kick drum sounds right away, so you'll likely find little need for EQ. It's a fat, massive sound, with a punchy attack and a satisfying weight that captures all of the drum's impact and low-frequency energy. Quality runs throughout the Avantone Pro line and is evident in the MONDO's die-cast zinc body and brass/steel grille assembly. Many engineers and drummers are impressed not just by the sound of these microphones; Its elegant Cabernet-red finish, accented with polished nickel trim and a black grille, looks great on stage and in the studio.

So impressive under the hood

It's often the hidden features that make the difference in what you hear, so it's no surprise that the Avantone MONDO is just as impressive under the hood as it is in playback. Nuances such as internal shock mounting in the capsule assembly help prevent the transmission of unwanted noise due to frame-borne vibration. Additionally, machined inserts in the microphone body barrel allow the included SSM shock mount O-rings to securely hold the microphone in place.

SSM bumper mount included

It's refreshing to find microphones in this price range that feature exceptional build quality and performance beyond expectations. When they also ship with high-quality, genuinely useful accessories — that's a good thing. MONDO comes with Avantone Pro's SSM shock mount, a rugged, precision device crafted from heavy-duty die-cast zinc that effectively decouples the microphone from low-frequency energy transfer while securely holding the microphone. Shock mount O-rings are made using a custom formula of ethylene propylene that provides tremendous resistance to breakage and surface cuts while remaining flexible and effective in hot, dry climates. This material is also immune to ozone and maintains its physical properties even after being stretched. Trust us — you'll appreciate it on your next tour!

And that's not all...

The MONDO comes with a rugged molded and padded case to safely transport and store your microphone and SSM shock mount. All things considered, the Avantone Pro MONDO microphone is a kick drum microphone with truly incredible sound and attractive appearance. To say the MONDO is a great value would be a serious understatement. Your customers or fans would never suspect how little it costs! We're sure you'll want a MONDO in your mic closet.
