SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound reproduction is very realistic, very true-to-life. Once I tried condenser mics, I was hooked. Feature: Pretty basic as far as features. Came with a mic stand mount. I like the finish, mesh screen looks very sturdy. Ease of Use: Sound characteristics are very good; not hard to dial in a pleasing level and tone. I've used this mic for live solo-ing, choral singing, home recording, even vocal practice. Quality: CAD mics have generally served me very well. I have never been disapointed in their performance. Value: Value is excellent. Great bang for the buck. Remarkable performance for a low price. Manufacturer Support: Have not dealt with them. The Wow Factor: Sex appeal? I don't think so! It's a microphone. But as far as mic's go, it's a handsome mic, nice color contrast between the screen and frame. Looks great, performs great, reasonably priced... what more could you ask for? Overall: I'm very satisfied with this mic and with CAD mics in general. They are typically very well made and perform well. While many more expensive (and probably better performing) mics are on the market, I'm not afraid to bring these out to be mishandled, dropped, bumped... they still deliver great sound for their price and if it breaks (hasn't happened yet) ...I'll get another and it won't break the bank. I'm always on the look-out for a great deal and I have found that I usually end up with a CAD when it comes to microphones.

Sound: I love this Mic. Use it at practice & for our live shows. Excellent sound with very little gain needed. Feature: What features do you need? - I really like the mesh screen. Ease of Use: Plug it in and sing, what else is there. Quality: Never any problems Value: Best for the money - my money anyway. Did I mention I love this mic. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it. The Wow Factor: I like the coloring - Much better looking than (chrome) Overall: Did I mention I love this Mic! - I actually somehow lost my first one at our last gig. Or it's somewhere in someones gear but I can't find it. Either way I just ordered another one. If my first one shows up I'll have 2 and that'll be just fine. I'm thinking about getting one for everyone in the band anyway.

Sound: I use these mics primarily for my contemporary church choir. Although, I also use them when I gig out occassionally. They allow you to project vocals with a minimum of strain on your voice and the clarity is superb. My advice...in the church setting you need to be aware of the natual reverb and compensate for feedback with your EQ-rolling off low end, flatten the highs and pulling back on the mids will take care of it. Usisng a processor with gate and compression controls is probably a better way to go. Feature: Great for picking up multible singers. Also, nice natural sound from acoustic intruments. Ease of Use: If you're not use to using this type of mic for live peformances you'll need to play around with them a bit. Quality: They feel very sturdy and look great. Value: These mics are well worth the price. I use SM-58's and these C-195's blow them away. Manufacturer Support: I found these mics on another site and beat the price without a hassle. These guys are amazing. I get most all of my equipment from here. The Wow Factor: Get 'em. Period!!! Overall: I hope they last forever, if not, I'll buy more.

Sound: The CAD C195 condenser mic bridges the gap btween great price and great performance. I use these specifically for chorale work and they never fail to bring out the best in the choir. Yes, they are not the top of the line; for I use a better quality of mic for the soloists. But for the general, all around choir, they really do deliver. I currently use six of these and given their performance and reasonable price, I'm happy just adding more of them in the future. These are not good for rock band work. I've tried them and they are way too sensative. But give them a try if you're doing an acoustic set. You won't be disappointed. Feature: Mic stand clip and cord included. Ease of Use: Needs phantom power supply usually supplied from the mixing board (no battery compartment here...) Quality: I have 6 of these I've used for several years. Still going strong. Value: There are better mic's on the market but not many that can perform like the CAD C195 at the current selling price. Manufacturer Support: N/A - These mic's are reliable. The Wow Factor: What sex appeal??? It's a mic... Overall: They've lasted years and I'm still happy. I'm looking to get a few more!

ZZOUNDS CREW REVIEW
Sound: Great sound quality and excellent value for the price. Feature: Comes with sturdy mic clip and XLR cable. Wish it had on/off switch though. Ease of Use: Simple condenser handheld mic, just make sure you got a phantom power source and you're good to go! Quality: Solid build. I unscrewed the grille to check out the wiring and the capsule is well-protected. Value: Again, excellent value. No point in spending more on a handheld condenser...unless the room acoustics and audio interface quality calls for it. The Wow Factor: More of a need than want. More practical than luxury.
