In 1988, CTI Audio realized a demand for affordable,
high-performance microphones in the growing home-recording market. CTI formed a division, called Conneaut Audio
Devices, to fill this market void. CAD Professional Microphones is recognized for its value and variety in professional studio microphones.
CAD is probably known best for their percussion microphones,
but they offer a complete range of microphones to fit nearly any application or
budget. Their broad selection of
condenser, ribbon, and dynamic microphones has been received with praise by
musicians and engineers across the globe, and are the current choice of John
Legend, Guns ‘n’ Roses, and Ludacris in the studio and on stage. The Trion line uses state-of-the art
technology combined with industrial design to produce microphones with a
vintage tone, look and feel. CAD’s Trion
7000 ribbon mic is gaining a lot of attention.
Prices range from $70 to $100 for CAD dynamic mics, and up
to $400 for the new CAD Trion condenser series.
