For the CV12, they started out with an overhauled circuit that tames the mic's high-mid bump, resulting in a flatter frequency response. Then they swapped out the existing 32mm K67 capsule for a 34mm CK12-styled, smoothing out the mic's highs and bringing out its lows. A Solen FastCap coupling capacitor gives you extreme transparency. On top of that, the mic's power supply has been completely redesigned with a new low-noise circuit, while extra filtering on its transformer bridge diode ensures a super-clean sound. At Sweetwater, we've found that the BLA-modded CV12's improved balanced response and increased headroom sound great on everything. This microphone is a true tube-fueled workhorse.About Black Lion Audio Founded in Chicago in 2006, Black Lion Audio has made their mark on the audio industry by hot rodding audio equipment and upgrading the sound quality of popular music-production gear, elevating industry-standard products to new levels of sonic quality.
