## Description

From the Manufacturer GXL2200 Cardioid Condenser Microphone Ideal for recording both vocals and instruments. View largerThe GXL2200 condenser mic from CAD Audio is inspired cosmetically, mechanically, and electrically by early generations of European masters. Features include (but are not limited to) an internal hi-pass filter. An elastic shock mount and protective pouch are included. P48 (48V) phantom power is required.Condenser-Style Microphone for Instrument RecordingThe CAD Audio GXL2200 condenser microphone consists of a thin conductive membrane stretched very close to a stationary plate. High voltage is applied between the membrane and the plate. As the membrane vibrates, electrons move. These moving electrons are sensed as voltage. This voltage can be strengthened (but not necessarily increased) by silicon.The cardioid polar pattern is ideal for recording both vocals and instruments, particularly for isolated tracks, but it also works well for live applications. Use condenser mics to get a clear directional recording of studio vocals, voice-over work, choirs, acoustic instruments, strings, piano, and cymbals/overheads.Included Shock Mount and Carrying PouchThe GXL2200 comes complete with an elastic shock mount and a protective carrying pouch for easy transport and set up.

Review: Great upgrade from Dynamic Microphones - I upgrade from a decent $20 dynamic mic bought off desertcart a year ago to this CAD Condensor mic, and i have to say i noticed the difference instantly. The mixer i'm using is a Behringer QX1202usb with 48v phantom power(require for.this mic) and with the old dynamic Mic had a hum in the background. When i plugged this phatom powered condensor mic in i was pleased that the hum was now gone. I guess thats what happens when you spend alittle more money for a half decent mic. My voice sounds great on my podcast with no static or humming behind my voice. One warning for amature podcasters, beware this mic is sensative! It easily picks up tv or radio or fan or other background noises. You will need a quiet enviroment. However this is a plus if you have a desk stand like i do and don't feel like always leaning forward to speak. Your mouth can be 12 to 18 inches away and this will pick you up just fine. One word on the mount...it fits the mic well for rights side mounting, not sure how you could hang the mic from a boom using the cradle, however if your 5/8" boom/mic stand's mount is right side up it will work just fine. Im using the same desk top mic stand i had my dynamic mic clipped to. I like this mic so much i bought two extra's for my co-host and for when i have guests on my podcast.
Review: Don't let the $59.00 bucks scare ya! - In my radio business, and my 25 year singing career, you can bet I have used a lot of studio condenser mics. My husband had done many months of research and along with my advice purchased the MXL 990's for our studio here and they are truly stellar! Hell, even "The Stern Show™" uses them! Anyway, we needed some variety hubby said, we needed a "collection" for the many different voice types we have in studio as guest hosts and show guests come and go all the time. Well, I suggested he go with the CAD GXL 3000's as they certainly in my opinion are one of the best out there. Well, hubby with all his "tech specs" and lingo said that the response from these 2200's are VERY close to the 990's Well, against my wishes purchased these as well as the 3000's and let me tell you, they are excellent. VERY close to the 990's but I feel there is more of a high end punch with these and it's a very good mic. PROS: Construction is solid, with a small but very good shockmount. Excellent quality finish applied to the outer casing for a nice look and I'm sure a long life. The sound is as I said crisp, clear with very nice highs and mids. When I tested, we ran through just our mixer, with no compression of effects and a small amount of EQ as we run our shows. All in all a very nice addition to our studio collection. CONS: The ONLY con I have was the packaging. Just a thin cardstock box with nothing more than small plastic airbags around it for shipping. It does come with a vinyl zip case for the mic itself, but nothing for the shockmount. Not a huge issue, but when compared with the MXL 990 that comes with a solid plastic road case, heavy foam insulation and a very nice quality presentation along with the useability of professional grade portability, it's a bit weak. Other than packaging, this is a solid studio condenser for voice and we highly recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apparently a great microphone
*by J***N on November 11, 2015*

I use this microphone in conjuction with the blue icicle and so far the audio quality is satifactory, especially at this price point. I was thinking of purchasing a USB microphone such as the blue yeti but I went the xlr route. Sound quality from this microphone exceeds most the usb microphones and it has descent build quality. Noise performance is satifactory and can get really clean audio at half the max preamp volume which is all you really need. Volume dynamic range is acceptable and better than most so pick this microphone up if you can afford it. ' (Needs xlr cable, stand, pop filter, and a preamp) I would get the behringer um2 pre amp, better build quality and more features for the same price as the blue icicle. If you got more money, Id get the rode nt1a at around $200 and if you got more aswell as podcast, get the electro re20 for like $450.
