Brand New. Not available for curbside pickup. Online orders only.

Thanks to its dual-diaphragm capsule design and special transformerless circuitry, the CAD M179 large-diaphragm multipattern condenser microphone provides extremely versatile pickup patterns, fast transient response, and very-low self-noise, rendering it a suitable main mic for vocals, voice-overs, and a variety of acoustic and amplified instruments. Not only does the mic offer a clean and open sound, but the included shockmount helps to eliminate extraneous vibration noises and the internal pop filter lessens breath and plosive sounds.

  • Large 1.1" dual-diaphragm external bias condenser capsule
  • Gold-sputtered diaphragms
  • High SPL capability (143 dB SPL with pad)
  • Transformerless balanced output circuits
  • Non-capacitive pad (-20 dB)
  • Gentle high-pass filter (6 dB/octave at 100 Hz)
  • Stainless steel internal pop/EMI filter
  • Includes vibration-absorbing shockmount
  • XLR 3-pin output connector
  • Includes hard storage case

Clean, Open sound
The CAD M179 combines an advanced head amp design, extremely efficient power circuitry, and a vintage capsule design, resulting in superior transient response, low distortion, low noise, and high output level. This allows the M179 to have an open and clean sound that can serve virtually any project.

High-Pass Filter
A user-switchable high-pass filter eliminates noise and rumble below 100 Hz. The stainless steel internal pop/EMI filter helps reduce breath/plosive noises as well as electromagnetic interference.

Phantom Powered
Being a true condenser microphone, the M179 can run on phantom power between 24 and 52 VDC.
