CAD Audio M177

Using the latest computer modelling tools has resulted in a microphone that features the best of old-world and new-world technology at an affordable cost. The M179 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 low noise, low distortion and fast transient response. The M179 can be used with 24 to 48V phantom supplies.
