Stereo pair - CAD Audio M179 variable-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone.

SoundOnsound says:........"There are relatively few continuously variable‑pattern mics around and certainly none at this price level, as far as I am aware. It is almost worth buying a couple of M179s for this facility alone, but the mic also stands on its own merits as an extremely low‑cost jack‑of‑all‑trades. It may not be the ultimate master, but it certainly makes an excellent deputy!"

The completely variable pattern selector and tone of this mic have no equal, a unique offering and beyond affordable!

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. Additional features include hi-pass filter and attenuator. Swivel mount, elastic shock mount and carrying case are included. P24 (24V) or P48 (48V) phantom power is required
