CAD TRION 8000
November 2006—The Trion 8000 from CAD (www.cadmics.com, $599) is a multipattern, large dual-diaphragm (1.12-inch) tube condenser mic. The 8000 is switchable between omni, cardioid and figure-8; features Class-A electronics; offers a transformer-coupled output; and features a rugged metal housing and construction. Able to get upclose and personal with SPL, the mic will take up to 133dB SPL and has 21 dBA of self-noise. It comes supplied with a shock-mount, heavy-duty aluminum carrying case, 25-foot 6-pin connector cable and power supply.

CAD E70 MICROPHONE

The frequency response measures in at 20-20k Hz, and the manufacturer claims a low-noise design and exceptional sensitivity of -38 dBV (13 mV) @ 1 Pa. It will also take up to 15dB SPL, and it comes in a black-satin finish. Price: $249.

CAD TOURING DRUM MIC PACK
September 2005—CAD Microphones’ ($149.99) 4-piece Drum Mic Touring Pack comprises a KM212 dynamic kick drum mic, two TM211 dynamic tom mics and one SN210 snare mic. The KM212 captures high-SPL sources (kicks, bass amps, etc.) with frequencies below 100 Hz. The tight cardioid TM211 and supercardioid SN210 offer excellent isolation from other drums; both models include CAD’s patented angle-adjustable rim-mount drum clips for easy setup and no need for mic stands, for a clean stage look and less gear to pack.

CAD D189
July 2005—The CAD D189 ($169) is a dynamic supercardioid microphone engineered for transparent sound and minimal off-axis pickup. CAD’s proprietary I.N.R.-2™ Impact Noise Rejection system dramatically reduces cable, stand and handling noise. A Flex-Form™ hardened-steel grille screen resists deforming and reduces risk of adverse performance caused by a bent or dented ball screen. An internal multistage pop filter minimizes wind and breath noise. Frequency response is 50 to 16k Hz; impedance is 300 ohms.

CAD C195
July 2005—CAD’s C195 ($199) is a low-noise, electret condenser cardioid microphone with a transformerless circuit. The C195 features the I.N.R.-3 system for diminished cable, stand and handling noise. A Flex-Form grille guards the capsule from damage, and an internal multistage pop filter minimizes wind and breath noise. Frequency response is 50 to 18k Hz with a max. SPL of 132 dB (1% THD); impedance is 500 ohms.

CAD E-3002
April 2005—The latest studio condenser from CAD ($699) features dual 1.1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragms, stainless-steel/brass dual-stage pop/EMI filter and a custom elastomer shock cradle system. The E-3002 has cardioid, omni and figure-8 patterns; automatic power shut-off to retain battery life; highpass filter; and -20dB pad. The mic can be phantom-powered or used remotely for six hours via a rechargeable 9-volt nickel-hydride battery. Shock-mount and carrying case are included.

CAD E3002
March 2005—Designed for studio vocals, CAD’s e3002 unveiled at NAMM has huge black and gold body housing a 1.1-inch diameter, dual-diaphragm, 3-pattern capsule and low-noise, servo condenser electronics.

CAD EQUITEK E1002
November 2004—This supercardioid electret condenser features a 10 to 18k Hz extended frequency response; 132dB dynamic range; THD <0.15%; 148dB SPL handling; transformerless balanced output circuits; and an internal power reservoir system. Retail: $399. TO READ THE REVIEW, CLICK HERE.

CAD EQUITEK E60
September 2004—This summer NAMM show had fewer new mics than past years, but one notable exception is CAD’s Equitek e60, a medium-diaphragm condenser that’s voiced specifically for brass instruments, with a -20dB pad and a four-position bass roll-off filter.

CAD E1002 AND E2002
September 2003—CAD adds two side-address condensers to its
popular Equitek mic line at summer NAMM. The e1002 (pictured) is a supercardioid
model, and the e2002 is a three-pattern (supercardioid/omni/figure-8)
mic; both feature onboard rechargeable batteries that provide a huge
current reserve or allow up to six hours of remote use without phantom
power
.

CAD E1002
July 2003—Part of CAD Professional’s new Equitek2 mic
line—which also includes the e202 and e303 vocal models, e502
kick and e602/e802 instrument mics—the e1002 is a side-address,
multi-purpose studio condenser. Like other high-end CAD mics, the
e1002’s servo-condenser design uses an internal power reservoir that
can supply 10x the current from phantom powering alone. The mic
includes a switchable -20dB pad, 80Hz lowcut filter, shockmount and
carry case.

CAD GLOBAL AUDIO M37
October 2002—CAD’s Global Audio line of cardioidcondenser mics
includes the M37 single-pattern, side-address mic featuring a 1-inch,
gold-sputtered single diaphragm, 143dB SPL handling (with pad),
transformerless balanced output circuits, a 20dB noncapacitive pad and
stainless-steel internal pop filter. MSRP: $159.

CAD GLOBAL AUDIO CONDENSER LINE
August 2002—CAD has introduced its new Global Audio line of
condenser microphones, including the M37, a single-pattern,
