The CAD GXL-3000 is a large diaphragm, multi-pattern condenser microphone designed for capturing vocals and general instruments in project and professional studio recording applications. The 1" gold vapor deposited diaphragm provides cardioid, omni-directional and figure 8 polar patterns. The multi-pattern design provides the flexibility needed to capture audio in any scenario. The cardioid pattern rejects off-axis audio and noise, the omni-directional pattern provides a more generous pick up area at the front of the capsule, and the figure-8 pattern provides a uniform response at both sides of the diaphragm. High sensitivity and wide, linear frequency response make the GXL-3000 a viable solution for vocals, guitar, percussion and more.
