DISC CAD E300S Large Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser

Full Description

Exceptional Sonic Performance

The CAD E300S Large Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser delivers exceptional sonic performance accuracy thanks to the 1.1” gold-vapour dual diaphragm capsule. This capsule ensures you capture every nuance of your source material as it was intended. The close attention to detail makes the CAD E300S one of the most powerful condenser microphones on the market. The result is transparent, airy top-end with rich and silky low-end with a unparalleled presence. The dual diaphragm capsule is hand dampened to deliver a consistent frequency response, improving overall transparency and performance.

Variety Of Applications

The CAD E300S is ideal for a range of recording applications. Thanks to its four selectable pickup patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-of-eight), the E300S allows you to cater to a range of situations when it comes to recording. The varying pickup patterns are perfect for everything from studio vocal performances, choirs and orchestras to acoustic guitars, pianos and drums. There is also a built-in hi-pass filter, 20dB pad and dual stage filter for added control.

Design & Construction

The E300S features a sleek and smooth black finish, with a gold-vapour hand dampened capsule for consistent frequency response. It also features a regulated bypass voltage generator for precise output sensitivity as well a a laser trimmed op-amp circuitry that allows for better management of fast transients. The open capsule design, makes the CAD E300S ideal for a range of studio recording applications. The microphone features a built-in on/off switch as well as an auto power shut-off feature when the microphone isn’t in use. Additionally, the CAD E300S comes complete with a shock mount and carrying case for added convenience.
