CAD Professional Microphones M9 Description
Imagine the sound of glass, the sound of sharply cut crystal. Thick and robust with sparkle, detail and shine. This sound is only achievable using the large-diaphragm capsule, 200 volts and the 12AX7 twin triode. This tone rises from the ages, then launches into the future through the high-power transformerless drive. Additional features include hi-pass filter and attenuator. The M9 comes packaged with the elastic shock mount, swivel mount, dedicated cable and 200V power supply in a durable road case. 115/230 VAC power required.

CAD M9 Review /

One of the original CAD tube mics,
the M9 has been around for a long time now. I know this is at least the second incarnation
of the mic, so at this point I kind of have to do an average of what I know
about the M9! It’s a fixed cardioid pattern with a large diaphragm, a 100hZ hi-pass
filter and a -16dB pad. The M9 ships with power supply and cable, and shock
mount in a case.
The M9 is one of the few condenser
(tube or not) mics that I enjoy using on guitar cab, it’s just not a regular
source I think to put condensers on. It has this nice smooth midrange thing
happening and the top end doesn’t buzz around in your inner ear, and low end
response is subdued enough for close placement. The M9 really is a smooth sort
of sound, they’ve done a good job with delivering what most expect with a tube
microphone as far as a bit of “warmth” is concerned. On voice it has a soft but
detailed sound, acoustic instruments aren’t spike-y sounding etc but again are
a bit rounded.
Conclusion: A smooth sounding mic
with a soft midrange, definitely a low cost bit of vibe to add to your studio’s
collection.
