The CAD Audio Small-Diaphragm Pencil Condenser Microphone is inspired cosmetically, mechanically, and electrically by early generations of European masters. A mic clip and protective pouch are included. The condenser-style microphone for instrument recording the CAD Audio Gxl1200 condenser microphone consists of a thin conductive membrane stretched very close to a stationary plate. The high voltage is applied between the membrane and the plate. As the membrane vibrates, electrons move. These moving electrons are sensed as voltage.
Electrons
This voltage can be strengthened (but not necessarily increased) by silicon. The Gxl1200 comes complete with a mic clip and a protective carrying pouch for easy transport and setup. It is packaged in a small, rugged, all-metal housing, the GXL1200 Condenser microphone provides a transparent sound reproduction. The transformerless design of this instrument microphone allows it to have low distortion and optimum low-end frequency response. The GXL1200's size, accurate sound reproduction, and high SPL capability make this a great choice for miking overheads, high hats, cymbals, woodwinds, and stringed instruments.
