CAD E1002 AND E2002
September 2003—CAD adds two side-address condensers to its popular Equitek mic line at summer NAMM. The e1002 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 cardioid condenser 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, side-address mic designed for demanding professional recording and broadcast applications. Featuring a 1-inch, gold-sputtered single diaphragm and an externally biased condenser capsule capable of handling 143dB SPL (with pad), the M37 also includes transformerless, balanced output circuits, a 20dB non-capacitive pad and stainless-steel internal pop filter. MSRP is $159. Other cardioid-only models in the line include the GXL2200 and GXL2400 large-diameter condensers ($109 and $129, respectively) and the $99 compact GXL1200.

CAD D60LF
March 2002—At Winter NAMM, CAD showed its new instrument mics, including the long-awaited D60LF neodymium kick mic.

CAD M9 TUBE MIC
May 2001—CAD Professional Microphones offers the M9 large-diaphragm tube condenser model. This cardioid studio mic features a 1.1-inch (inside diameter), gold-sputtered capsule and a wide dynamic range, low-noise head amp circuit based on a 12AX7 tube. The output stage is a high-speed dual op amp in a balanced differential configuration. Frequency response is 10-20k Hz, with a slight rising response characteristic at 15 kHz. Switches on the mic body engage a highpass filter and a -20dB pad. The M9 is supplied with a swivel mount, dedicated power supply (no phantom power needed), a 30-foot, 7-conductor mic cable and rugged carrying case. Price: $499. To read the review, click here.

CAD M177
October 2000—Resulting from over a decade of intense development, the M177 is one of the first in a new generation of CAD condenser mic. The M177 features a single-pattern version of the original Equitek E-300 externally biased capsule with a gold-sputtered, 1.1-inch diaphragm. The M177 has a high-speed, low-noise head amp, coupled with a new discrete high-efficiency power circuit. The results are extremely low noise, low distortion and fast transient response. Polar pattern: cardioid. Frequency response: 10-20k Hz. Sensitivity: 15mV/Pascal. Signal to noise ratio: 85 dBA. Self-noise: 10 dBA. Max SPL: 148 dB.

CAD M179
October 2000—The M179 is one of the first in a new generation of CAD condenser microphones featuring 5-point detented pattern control providing nine useable patterns, continuously variable between detents. The M179 features a gold-sputtered 1.1-inch diaphragm. The M179 has a high-speed, low-noise head amp, coupled with a new discrete high-efficiency power circuit. The results are low noise, low distortion and fast transient response. Polar pattern: continuousely variable (Omni, Figure-8, Cardioid). Frequency response: 10-20k Hz. Sensitivity: 15mV/Pascal. Signal to noise ratio: 85 dBA. Self-noise: 11 dBA. Max SPL: 148 dB.
