Get 2 CAD CM217 Condenser mics for the price of one! Designed for acoustic guitars, stringed instruments, cymbals, hi-hats, and more. Features include hi-pass filter and attenuator. Mic clip included.
These mics work very well for the price. At first I was skeptical of buying them because of mixed reviews that I have read, but I needed some drum overheads to go along with the Digital Reference 4 pc drum mic kit (another 5 stars for that, by the way). I became a bit more skeptical when the mics came in boxes not much larger than a deck of cards. The clips even weighed more than the mics! But once I plugged them up, adjusted the levels, and turned the built in -10 DB switch on, they worked like a charm. My cymbals are so clear. I've even recorded some tracks with my friends and these mics mix my cymbals very well. If you're looking for good quality for a small price, these are the mics for you. My only thing about them is they pick up a lot of my snare drum, but for a price this low for a pair of condenser mics I won't complain.
I bought these mics because for thirty bucks apiece, if they sucked I could throw them at the neighbor's dog. They don't suck. I used them the first time at a gig in a rather small bar. I decided to put one CAD on each side of the drums and mic the bass drum (AKG D112). SoundguyEd brought up the drums in the mains and wow. I had someone else play for me and I was amazed that the sound coming out of the speakers was exactly what hear when I'm playing. The soundguy had to back off the AKG a little bit because the CAD's were putting the kick out there too. I would easily recommend these mics to anyone looking for good sound on a budget. I don't know about reliability yet, haven't had them that long. Happy right now.
I got these mics as part of the larger CAD and they were the only part worth keeping. I have used them extensively as cymbal overheads and for acoustic instruments. the amount of off axis rejection even makes them suitable for live sound. A great buy for budget condensers!
