CAD Audio CAD Equitek E100VP USA Series Large Diaphragm Variable Pattern Studio Condenser Microphone
The E100VP is a fifth-generation, USA-manufactured member of CAD's Equitek line, built around a gold-plated 1-inch capsule with a continuously variable polar pattern spanning omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, subcardioid and figure-8. That range makes it a genuine do-everything studio mic, equally at home on a lead vocal, an acoustic guitar or a room capture.
Self-noise runs as low as 4 dBA and dynamic range up to 124 dB depending on pattern and pad setting, so it holds up on quiet sources and loud ones alike. CAD includes a shock mount, a 100 Hz high-pass filter and a 10 dB pad, and backs it with a 2-year warranty.
