CAD e200²

The Equitek E200 from Conneaut Audio Devices is a multi-pattern side address microphone designed for recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement. The implementation of high speed, low noise, low-distortion electronics makes the E200 the ideal candidate for the most critical applications.

OVERALL OPINION

Great Bang for the buck! Generally regarded as an accurate mic, with less coloration. Very Cool: Has 3 patterns: Cardioid, Omni and Figure 8. Handles the Hi SPL that drums requires, yet can handle vocalists--solo or duets and can do guitars and sound fx. I love the flexibility. Looks great for impressing clients. I find it great for my voice (makes it smooth and "silky-bassy", like late night talk radio). Depending on the source, you can switch in a -10 pad in cardioid mode which makes it VERY quiet. In Omni mode, with the pad off, it picks up everything in the room (and the next room if you leave the door open) It's big and has weight, so don't stick it on a real light boom extended out too far. In sum, a jack of all trades, perfect for a serious home studio, IMO.

OVERALL OPINION

The CAD E200 is a very transparent and precise microphone with a wide frequency response, and you will also get a very low noise. CAD has been making these microphones for a while now and I have used several of there other microphones. The Company itself has been involved in audio equipment for over 80 years now and have a great reputation. With the E200 you don’t have to worry about not getting the best deal for your money because the quality and build of this microphone are second to none. I have not seen too many people that have used this microphone for different applications and have negative complaints about it. I have been using it fro a few years, as well as other microphones from CAD and I will continue to use their microphones. I am happy with our choice to purchase this microphone and would do it again in a heart beat. Purchase this microphone.

The CAD e200 is a large diaphragm side address condenser microphone that is designed for use in the studio. It's got three pick up patterns to choose from, including cardoid, omnidirectional, and figure eight and actually has dual single diaphragms in it. The frequency response starts all the way down at 10 Hz and goes up to 18 kHz. It also has a high pass filter at 80 Hz and a -20 db pad. It's definitely best suited for use in the studio or for broadcast and I wouldn't recommend using it for live shows. It also comes with it's own shock mount and can run on battery power if needed.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, the CAD e200 is an awesome microphone. It would be a nice microphone even if it were a bit more expensive, but considering the low price it's that much better. It's a versatile microphone as I've had success using it for recording both bass guitar, vocals, and on the outside of a kick drum. They also advertise the mic as being a broadcast microphone, which makes sense given it's versatility and wide frequency response, but I haven't tried it myself for any non-musical applications. The mic is definitely not limited to these applications, as I'm sure it would work well across the board in situations where you'd want a nice sounding large diaphragm condenser. While the sound and versatility are all well and good, it's the price that really makes this a popular microphone. Don't get me wrong, it's a good mic on it's own, but it wouldn't seem nearly as good if it was say, double the price as some comparable mics are. For this reason it's the perfect all purpose microphone for the home studio owner on a budget. If you fall into this category, do yourself a favor and consider the e200!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been just over six months that I use and it is a wonder. It captures everything you need and record s'intgresnt alone in the mix.
Using the pad is a headroom which is surprising.
I try a lot of model (T Bone SC450, Rode NT2, samson c01) but it is widely suprieur anywhere.
I compared it with an AKG 414 and the two pickups are the opposite akg ass is a little aggressive, while the cad is soft and warm. By pushing the gain slightly, we get a little saturation is nice.
The report price is trs good quality, even trs trs good.
I would do that price without hesitation.
