Click Here For The Digital Edition Today's Review CAD Live Microphone Series By Strother Bullins, Editor of Pro Audio Review I've wanted to use a "warm and forgiving" ribbon microphone live (especially on guitar cab and some wind instruments), but have never been comfortable bringing out pricier ribbons for some dirty club gig or confident in buying a generic "cheap" one, either. Thus enters the new CAD Live Microphone Series with its flagship ribbon, the D82, priced at an amazing $159 street. It's a robustly built side-address microphone capable of handling up to 140 dB (@100 Hz). It feels solid in the hand, just like CAD's other offerings on the higher end of its price list, and should inspire confidence in on-stage musicians, too. The other two CAD Live mics currently in the series—the large diaphragm condenser cardioid D84 and large diaphragm dynamic super cardioid D80 ($159 and $99 street, respectively)— are also fine performers, effectively bringing affordable and abuse-ready large diaphragm condenser performance to the club stage.
