SHURE SM58 $99

The Shure SM58® unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement,
and studio recording. It has a tailored vocal response for a sound which is a world standard for singing or speech. A highly effective, built-in spherical
filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.

SHURE SM57 $99

The legendary Shure SM57 microphone is exceptional for musical instrument pickup and vocals. With its bright, clean sound and contoured frequency response, the SM57 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and recording. It has an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern which isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. In the studio, it is excellent for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds.

SHURE BETA 58A $165

The Shure Beta 58A® is a high-output supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It has become a leading choice among vocalists and touring professionals worldwide. The Beta 58A maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain before feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone coloration. The Beta 58A has a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close–up vocals. The superb performance of this microphone is not affected by rough handling because of its rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille.

SHURE BETA 57A $150

The Shure Beta 57A® is a high output supercardioid dynamic microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain-before-feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off–axis tone coloration. Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals, the extremely versatile Beta 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds and vocals.

SHURE 520DX $110

Model 520DX “Green Bullet” microphone produces the unique sound that has made it a legend among harmonica players. The 520DX features a volume control knob at the base of the microphone that allows musicians to make adjustments to suit their needs during a live performance. An attached cable with a standard 1/4-inch phone plug allows the microphone to be connected to a high-impedance device.

CAD TRION 8000 $400

Multi-pattern Condenser Tube Microphone:


Transparent, airy, rich and silky. Travel back in time with the extra large diaphragm, RF pentode, iron core, and 120 volts of drive. CAD brings back the look, sound and feel of early condensers. Use all three polar patterns to define space and tone. Elastic shock mount, durable metal travel case, dedicated cable, and 120V power supply are included. 115/230 VAC power required.

 

CAD Trion 7000 $279.99

Dual-element Ribbon Microphone:


Thick and rich, the dual ribbon "rounds out" guitar stacks, brass, and woodwinds. A narrow strip of ultra thin aluminum suspended in a magnetic field oscillates symbiotically with your sound source. Electrical current is the result. We use two ribbons for added sensitivity. Experience classic ribbon vocal sound. Elastic shock mount and metal travel case are included.

CAD Trion 6000 $299

Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone:


Two externally-biased large diaphragms, field-effect detection and iron core drive. Tri-level high voltage and legendary CAD industrial design. Three polar patterns for timbre and expanse. Vintage tone, vintage look and vintage feel. Elastic shock mount and metal travel case are included.

CAD E-300 $399.99

Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone:


Powerful and articulate, the e300 blows away the competition with strength and precision. The externally-biased large-diaphragm capsule and high-power transformerless electronics deliver the vocal impact you deserve. Three polar patterns let you balance tone and space. Additional features include hi-pass filter, attenuator and power switch. Rechargeable NiMH batteries provide current reserve. Elastic shock mount and carrying case are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.

CAD E-100 $249.99

Supercardioid Condenser Microphone:


Weld high-power transformerless electronics with point-source transduction for strength and precision. Deliver the full impact of drums and guitars. Capture stringed instruments with exacting phase. Breathe life into your vocal track. Features include hi-pass filter, attenuator and power switch. Rechargeable NiMH batteries provide current reserve. Elastic shock mount and carrying case are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.

CAD GXL 2200 $70

Cardioid Condenser Microphone:


The condenser microphone consists of a thin conductive membrane stretched very close to a stationary plate. High voltage is applied between the membrane and the plate. As the membrane vibrates, electrons move. These moving electrons are sensed as voltage. This voltage can be strengthened (but not necessarily increased) by silicon. The GXL2200 is inspired cosmetically, mechanically, and electrically by early generations of European masters. Features include (but are not limited to) an internal hi-pass filter. Elastic shock mount and protective pouch are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.

CAD GXL 2400 $80

Cardioid Condenser Microphone:


One active diaphragm, one passive diaphragm. An acoustic labyrinth between creates an acoustic delay to cancel sound arriving at 180 degrees. This is the cardioid polar pattern. Sound sources appear closer. The fattening effect is inversely proportional to distance. The GXL2400 is compact in design and big on sound. Internal hi-pass filter reduces thump and rumble. Elastic shock mount and protective pouch are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.

CAD GXL 3000 $170

Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone:


Borne of precious metal and pure electricity. Tune two golden membranes intimately across polished bass and inject electrons with oscillatory high tension. Drive emotion across copper and iron by field-effect detection. Wrap it in Faraday's cage to conceive the GXL3000. Live all three polar patterns as you align space and tone. Features include hi-pass filter and attenuator. Elastic shock mount and protective pouch are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.

CAD GXL 1200 $60

Cardioid Condenser Microphone:


Point-source transduction, field-effect detection, and pure high voltage. Capture your instrumentation with exacting detail. Proximity effect is inversely proportional to distance. Play it right this time. Mic clip and protective pouch are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.

 
PREAMPS  

ELECTRO HARMONIX 12AY7 $189.99

With the Electro-Harmonix 12AY7 Tube Microphone Preamp, Electro-Harmonix offers an affordable tube micrphone preamp that won't disappoint. Equipped with a 12AY7 EH tube and a 12AU7 EH driver, it gives microphones the widest dynamic range with the warmest possible tone and accuracy. The 12AY7 Mic Pre uses an actual 200V supply instead of the "faked out" 12 or 48 volts you'd get with common models and delivers 50dB of gain into a high impedance load or 40dB gain into 600 ohms.

The 12AY7 Mic Preamp's special FET current-balancing circuit allows the tubes to amplify the microphone signal to line level while eliminating noise and protecting against hum and hostile electrical environments. It has an extra TRS output for separate line control, which can be used as a splitter or an aux send for monitoring. Input connections are balanced in and out (XLR) with a 1/4" TRS balanced buffer out. The Electro-Harmonix mic pre unit also boasts a phase reverse switch and a +4dBm indicator light for setting optimal mic level. The 48V phantom power is soft starting and pop-free.
