I've used Cad drum kit mics for live sound and very happy with the performance saw this mic for the price i figured what the He*^ for the price the sound is prety decent i actually produce a radio show with a more expensive condenser(analog into mixer to pci antex audio card) with adobe audition and like the more expensive mic get a pop screen i was able to use a foam windscreen to better manage pops till i can get a for real pop screen now sound quality prety good for the price only draw back is this mic hears a little too good when it comes to background noises(computer fans you know the deal) but if you need a usb voice capture solution in a hurry and on a budget this mic works remember don't forget the pop filter

included desk stand and 10 ft usb cable Thanks CAD

Recording with Audition 1.5? not bad very little eq or limiting required just remember yoour mike techniques i'm still researching noise characteristics i need to get into one of my quieter studios and check noise floor of the mike usb interface it self but again so far not to bad of a side address mic for the price

it's plastic i wouldn't recommend taking it on the road all the time if you do take all the precautions to protect this mike as you would a more expensive $1000 dollar condenser

Ummmm not bad

I said 7 reason is havn't needed to talk to support yet i plugged in my XP machine and my editing software and XP had no problem getting aquainted with this Mic

Cad is a prety good name for performance again if you need some kind of usb voice capture in a hurry and on a budget this will work but do considering upgrading if performance and quality is top priority

Great for vocals. Not sure about instruments.

The switches on the mic make it versatile to the user.

It's really as easy as it sounds. Just plug and play.

I'm not planning on smashing this mic, but the only reason I rated this an 8, was because of its plastic.

You won't find a USB mic this nice for a cheaper price.

Don't take my word on this. Never needed support.

Some may not like the tan color, but it matches with my table. The blue light matches with my laptop, but I'm not too picky on colors.

The sound quality could be better, but the main part of that is because it is a USB microphone. Other than that, the quality of the sound is superb. It cuts out most of the background noise also.

There are a few accessories and features. The microphone comes with a tripod stand along with a microphone stand mount. On the microphone, there are two switches. One of them, very useful, decreases the sound pickup by -10 dB. The other, pretty cool, decreases the bass pickup.

Very easy to use. No complaints.

Made very well. One complaint, thats kind of funny, is the status light is very bright. It makes you have to look away every once in a while.

When I got the microphone, I was surprised it wasn't more.

No questions. =)

It has a olive/tan look to it, other than that, its nice.

For the Price of this mic, i am amazed of how much sound quality i got out of it! This mic helps me achieve that professional sound quality i want.

The most usefull accessory is the cable! the other accessory was the tripod for the desk which is fair and could be better but im not complaining.

Produces clear sounds of my vocals! I haven't tried on instruments yet but soon will

Good quality mic for the price you pay

this product is perfect for its product and its usb competetors

i just recently got it and read the easy instructions. Nothing went wrong and everything is going smoothly.

Its nice. I love the color and the feel to it

this is definitly not the best microphone to buy, for its price it does work, but your better off spending a few hundred on a mixer and a better mic.

simple 2 switches that come equiped on most usb mics. if not theres vst's to dl and fix the same problems post recording...

plug and play, all that can be said about it,,, although mac users may need to dl asio drivers off the web to run it. garage band on a macbook didn't recognize it

mic is sturdy and no problems whatsoever but the stand post doesnt seem to stay fixed in place

very affordable great for a beginner on a budget. but like i said. get familiar with mixing boards and get a real mic.

havent had to call so i cant rate

nothing specacular

Cad makes good microphones, but in all seriousness, this is a $50 microphone, you're not going to get a professional sound out of it. Get a real stand, not the desk top mount that comes with it, as well as a pop filter. All in all, you should spend more equipping this microphone then you spent on purchasing it.

The roll of switch doesn't really work too well.

The Cad is a USB microphone. This generally means it is going to suck. But if you have a laptop and you want a plug-and-play when you're on the go, the passenger of a car with your buddies and you want to jot something down really quick, this is what's right for you. If it breaks, oh well, you're out $50.

It's a plastic microphone. It's a pretty much just a toy. If you're a beginner, play around with it. You won't have to mess with interfaces or phantom power just yet.

Worth every penny! But that's only 5,000 pennies.

No problems with it.

It's not hideous mic but if it got damaged I really wouldn't care.
