E70 Equitek Dual-Capsule Condenser Microphone

The CAD Audio Equitek E70 is a small, metal-bodied end address condenser built for accurate instrument capture in the studio and on stage. Its low mass 1/2” gold sputtered diaphragm tracks fast transients cleanly, which makes it a first pick for cymbals, hi-hat, acoustic guitar, strings, woodwinds and piano, sources where a slower capsule turns detail into a blur. The transformerless design reduces low frequency distortion at high sound pressure levels, so close-miked drums and horns stay defined. Two interchangeable capsules ship in the box. The cardioid capsule gives -40dBV sensitivity, 23dB A-weighted self noise and 155dB max SPL with the 20dB pad engaged, for isolation on a loud stage or a tight drum kit. The omnidirectional capsule gives -36dBV sensitivity, 19dB A-weighted self noise and 154dB max SPL, for a natural, open picture of a room or an ensemble. A three-position high-pass filter and three-position pad cover the range of setups you meet in live sound and studio work without reaching for outboard gear. The compact 7/8” by 6 1/8” body slips under a hi-hat or inside a piano where larger microphones will not fit. Every E70 is audio tested and inspected under the direction of CAD Professional Microphones. Runs on P48 phantom at 2mA through a three pin XLR connector.
