Truly CAD's “unsung hero” it's what drummers desire in a mic set. This versatile mic set not only works great for drum applications such as overheads, rack/floor toms and kick-drums, it also works for many other miking applications as well.

M179 Variable-pattern Condenser Microphone

Then M179's continuously variable pattern control allows the blending of patterns from omni to hyper-cardioid to figure-of-eight. Simply “dial in” your desired pattern for the greatest flexibility in live and recording situations. A unique combination of vintage design and modern electronics, the M179 features a dual diaphragm version of our legendary E300 capsule and an externally biased design with a 24k gold sputtered 1.1” diaphragm. The M179's advanced head amp design and efficient power circuitry ensure superior reproduction in critical miking situations with an open, natural sound, fast transient response, low distortion, low noise, and a high output level.
