5.0 out of 5 stars Bang for the buck, March 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CAD GXL3000 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone (Electronics)
CAD makes good stuff. While it may not be the most beautiful mic, it's got a good pedigree and sturdy construction.
I wouldn't hammer a nail with it, but I wouldn't want to drop it on my foot either. Fortunately, the spring clamp design of the shockmount means that's less likely to happen since there are no cumbersome buckles as on some designs.

The large 1" capsule exhibits a pleasing proximity effect in Cardioid mode. There are high pass filter and pad circuits as well as Omni and Figure of 8 patterns. The included spec sheet claims 20Hz-20kHz freq response, which has a slightly lower bottom than what the Amazon product listing states. Comes with a fairly nice soft zipper pouch for storage. I'd expect a box for a mic of this type, but at this price it's worth the tradeoff.

If you're looking for an robust versatile inexpensive large diaphragm condenser, this is a good option.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Mic I've Even Owned, December 13, 2009
This review is from: CAD GXL3000 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone (Electronics)
I bought this mic because I read the product description and saw the passion it inspired in whoever writes those things. And I've felt the passion -- nay, I've LIVED it.

This mic records sound like Paris Hilton records...well, you know. Which is to say sexy.
