CAD Audio PM1200 PodMaster Super-D Microphone

While the CAD PM1200 PodMaster is clearly named with a focus on broadcast and spoken-word, this top-tier microphone can also serve as an all-around production powerhouse for your home studio. The onboard 35-millimeter SuperD dynamic capsule is tuned quite well for the human-voice, but it will also handle focused, transient sounds—such as a guitar amp, percussion, and more. Its all-metal construction ensures reliability in build and maintains durability over time, while the pro-level shockmount that ships with the PM1200 delivers excellent performance that won’t be affected by room vibrations. The supercardioid polar pattern is similar to that of the focused pattern you’d expect from standard stage vocal microphones—and because it ships with broadcast-style boom arm, an XLR cable, and a high-quality windscreen, it will fit right into your streaming, video call, or podcasting setup.
