CAD M177 Condenser Microphone

M177 Condenser Microphone description:

Resulting from over a decade of active development, the CAD M177 is one of the first in a new generation of CAD condenser microphones.

Using the latest computer modeling tools has resulted in the CAD M177, featuring the best of old world and new world technology at an astonishingly affordable cost. The CAD M177 features a single pattern version of the original Equitek E-300 capsule. It's an externally biased capsule with a gold sputtered 1.1" diaphragm. The CAD M177 has a high speed, low noise operational amplifier head amp, coupled with a new discrete high efficiency power supply circuit. This results in incredibly low noise, low distortion and fast transient response. The CAD M177 will even work with 24-volt phantom supplies! The CAD M177 also features a non-capacitive 20 dB pad switch and an 80 Hz high-pass filter.
