CAD Audio GXL2400
Street: $80 / MSRP: $129 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
The CAD GXL2400 is a low-cost, large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pickup pattern. It was introduced in 2002 as part of CAD’s “Global Audio” product line.
Switches on the microphone body provide a -10dB pad and a high-pass filter (-6dB/octave @ 100 Hz).
The large-diaphragm capsule is externally biased. The back side of the capsule has a “passive” diaphragm that is most likely not sputtered nor wired into the circuit, but helps control the cardioid pickup pattern.
The mic’s self-noise level is variously reported as 16dBA (on cadmics.com) or 20dBA (in the 2008 catalog).
The mic ships with an elastic shockmount and a soft pouch for storage.
