CAD E100VP Equitek Microphone

Unlike standard microphones that offer fixed settings, the E100VP allows you to dial in any pattern between omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, subcardioid, and figure-8. This gives you precise control over how much room sound you capture versus the direct source, making it incredibly versatile for different recording environments.

Yes, it is well-equipped for high-SPL sources. It features a 10 dB pad that helps prevent distortion when recording loud instruments, allowing it to handle up to 144 dB when using the omnidirectional setting.

The gold-plated 1-inch capsule is designed to provide high sensitivity and precise audio reproduction. It helps the microphone capture subtle nuances in vocals and instruments while maintaining a warm, vintage character with modern clarity.

The low-profile shock mount is essential for isolating the microphone from mechanical vibrations and handling noise. It ensures that your recordings remain clean, especially when the mic is mounted on a stand in a studio setting.

The 100 Hz high-pass filter is useful for cleaning up your signal by removing unwanted low-end rumble, such as floor vibrations or air conditioning noise. It is particularly helpful when recording vocals or acoustic instruments where you want to emphasize clarity over bass frequencies.
