The CAD M179 is a variable pattern, externally biased condenser microphone.
Similar to the M177 except with an adjustable Polar Pattern,
the CAD M179 features a dual sided, externally biased capsule
with a gold sputtered 1.1" diaphragm. The M179 has
a high speed, low noise operational amplifier head amp, coupled
with a new discrete high efficiency power supply circuit.
