JimboSpins « This mic will give you warmth »
Published on 01/02/13 at 21:42The CAD Trion 7000 is a dual element ribbon mic and I have been using it for almost 2 years now. This microphone can be used for brass and woodwind instruments as well as vocals and bass or acoustic guitars. This ribbon microphone has a figure 8 polar pattern making it great for almost any recording environment.
OVERALL OPINION
When I recorded with the Trion 700 I notice how warm and clean the sound was. For the price that this microphone cost I did not expect to get such warmth and natural depth in my recordings. This microphone should be used in a studio and a studio only. Using it live will sound horrible because it is not made for that.
The main things that I have recorded with it are acoustic guitar, brass instruments, bass guitar and many styles of vocals. Every time I record with it I love how it sounds and it does not take much EQ’ing after the recording to get the audio to sound good. This microphone does most of the work for you automatically. This ribbon microphone is great, being that it is a figure 8 polar pattern microphone that it does a great job of not picking up sounds from the rear or the sides of the microphone. Everything it picks up will need to be directly in front of the microphone and within good proximity.
If getting a warm and full sound is a recording goal of yours then you must try this microphone out. The quality is amazing and at this price you will have nothing to lose. I am very happy that I chose to purchase this microphone and in fact, when I purchased it brand new years ago the price was a lot more than it is now and I still do not regret it. I have used other CAD microphones and all of them have been pretty good too!
