CAD C195 Cardioid Electret Condenser Microphone Apr 02, 2008
I've been playing/singing since the late 1950's--mostly folk, early country and bluegrass, ragtime and country blues--roots stuff, and I purchased two of these to use as vocal mikes, mostly on my Yamaha Stagepas300 PA. A friend, who also has the Yamaha PA, uses Shure Beta 87a mikes for vocals and, since the CAD C-195 has virtually identical specs, I tried them instead for 1/4 - 1/3 of the lowest prices for the Shures, thinking they might at least be a cost effective alternative to the cheaper Beta 57/58's.
We intend to A/B the two brands at the same time but, so far, I can't say that I hear any real difference between the C-195 and the Beta 87a. I'm in my 60's, my hearing is still acute, but I admit that I could be missing some nuances that most others would also miss. This is a very satisfying set up. I also use two equally good but 'inexpensive' Astatic dual capsule mikes for the instruments. The sound quality (especially at these prices) and the synergy between the various pieces of gear is impressively good--it's perfect for mike-based acoustic solo or small group performances in small venues.
The build quality seems quite rugged, but this is where there might be some advantage with the more expensive Shures. Time will tell, but these have been extremely good values for me.
