| | | Subject: | Best Kept Secret Amoung Budget Mics - does not sound budget | | Quality:
| This mic is very well constructed. It has a solid feel and is heavy. The power supply seems a rugged although the thin sheet metal seems to be quite thin. The spider cage is tight and supports the mic well. The rubber bands do not seem cheap and prone to wear out quickly like the MXL mic's shock mounts. | | Features:
| The sound and the multi-pattern | | Ease of Use:
| Easy to use, set it up, plug it in, let it warm up and point at the source. | | Sound:
| The tone is smooth and even in all three polar patterns. Creamy is the sound I would use. In figure-of-eight, the back cap seems a little brighter - not by much, but enough that if using two vocalist you will want to make sure you voice things correctly. | |

QUALITY:
This comes with a nice looking aluminum case. The build is solid No moving parts (unless you decide to open the casing).
FEATURES:
The shockmount is unreal. It's very loose, and a work of art in itself. Vibrations will not affect it. Most shockmounts I've used were very stiff, and kind of defeated the purpose. This thing is much more forgiving of an accidental bump.
EASE OF USE:
Straightford. It has a cord designed to work between the mic and the box. Seems to be of great quality. Well shielded, etc. And use your own XLR cable to plug into your recording source. East.
VALUE:
Huge value. If you are weighing this mic our vs. the $600 Rode tubes, etc. I would stop here. CAD has done their homework on what consumer want I think.
SOUND:
It surprised the heck out of me. I was looking for a single mic that would have that broadcast/pro studio music quality where there wasn't too much sibilance Mos | |

QUALITY:
Like a rock.
FEATURES:
The shock mount is beautiful. The mic feels like 'quality.'
EASE OF USE:
Extremely easy. No learning curve.
VALUE:
I've spent a thousand dollars on a few different mikes. This one is better...by far. Slam dunk.
SOUND:
This mic is like heaven on earth. It's the first mic that has allowed me to sing with a relaxed feel, while the instruments rock. It takes my dark, big voice and puts it exactly where it needs to be in the mix. I don't have to do much eq work or play around much. It's just there. It's full, clear, warm, and anything that you want it to be. I've recorded heavier rock, country, and ballad styles with it. This is the first mic that has made me feel like listening to the playback. It's worth 3 or 4 times the money. Buy one while the buying is good. This model should stay around for a long time. I used it in my home studio, but I'd take it into |
