CAD M9 Overview

The CAD M-9 cardioid condenser microphone delivers a sophisticated combination of tube analog warmth, with the pristine audio quality of solid state output circuitry. The M-9 features a 12AX7 tube in a circuit that is optimized for super wide dynamic range and low noise.

An advantage of this unique design enables long cable runs without noise and loss in performance. The M-9 is powered with the external MV200 power supply module. A 16dB pad switch increases headroom for minimizing peak distortion when capturing loud, transient signals. A high pass filter switched reduces low frequency noise associated with proximity effect, ambiance, etc. The M-9 is a work-horse solution for capturing vocals and instruments in both project and professional studios.

Servo / Valve Output Electronics
The combination of a 12AX7 valve set in a circuit optimized for wide dynamic range and low noise result in pristine, warm audio quality with low noise floor.
16dB Pad
16dB Pad switch provides additional headroom when reproducing excessively loud signal.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern minimizes noise and off-axis audio.
High Pass Filter Switch
High pass filter switch reduces low frequency noise and rumble.
