The CAD M179 Low-Noise Condenser Microphone features a variable polar pattern and fast transient response.
The CAD M179 Low-Noise Condenser Microphone features a dual sided, externally biased capsule with a gold sputtered 1.1" diaphragm. This microphone 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 M179 will even work with 24-volt phantom supplies. The M179 also features a non-capacitive 20 dB pad switch and an 80 Hz high-pass filter.
