CAD GXL 2400

Been involved in music recording for 14 years, initially with my own small record company specialising in early music (lutes, crumhorns, viols etc!) and latterly, recording local folk/ blues/ jazz artists.

Using what is now 'old technology' - condenser mikes via portable Studiomaster mixer into DAT recorder - and often in even older venues, such as local village churches etc. near Oxford.

Just an update on my previous one - it turns out that the circuit is in every respect identical to that of the T-bone SC400 (which is fine as far as I am concerned) - this from a visual check as I have neither equipment nor expertise to do any electronic check. So yes, these companies do tend to re-badge the same bit of kit....

I did buy another one, and am very happy with it.

This is a cardioid condenser, large diaphragm mike which comes with a shock-mount, having a reassuring weight of 13.4 oz. At time of writing, I have owned it for exactly 36 hours.

By reason of an emergency I will not bore you with, this lined up alongside my two AKG 414s for a recording session this morning - it arrived in time yesterday for me to test it out a little, but I would not normally want to test out a brand new mike in an important recording session....

Maybe I shouldn't venture an opinion yet, but at the end of the session after a listen-through, the upright-bass player came up to me full of compliments for the sound I had got from his instrument - via this microphone. My own listening confirmed the opinion, and I am buying another now...
