CAD M-179 Servo-Condenser Microphone

Resulting from over a decade of active development, the M179 is one of the first in a new generation of CAD condenser microphones. Using the latest computer modeling tools has resulted in a microphone that features the best of old world and new world technology at an astonishingly affordable cost.

The M179 has an adjustable polar pattern, and features a dual sided, externally biased capsule with a gold sputtered 1.1" diaphragm. The M179 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.

The adjustable polar pattern allows you to travel the space-tone continuum with the touch of a dial! The figure-of-eight is rich and intimate. The omni is spacious and articulate. Experience all the variations in between. We combine the large-diaphragm capsule with algebraic phasing and high-power transformerless drive to create an indispensable acoustical window.
