Same tiny diaphragm. Same noisy Schoeps circuit. Same dinky desk stand that goes right in the garbage. It comes with an actual xlr cable tho! Anemic. But it's definitely an xlr cable and not half trs. Thanks CAD. Nobody else is doing that. I bought this microphone not to use, but to mod by putting a JLI 25mm electret and OPA Alice circuit in. Gonna have to print the saddle in TPU and either paint plastidip or stick PE foam mounting tape inside the metal body tube to hush the handling noise because of how thin it is. (while keeping conductivity to the base) I scrape a finger on the metal body and it rings. But for $20, it's more mic than I expected. Someone should convince CAD to switch to an op amp circuit, RF filter the XLR pins directly with two ceramic caps, and slap a cheap 25mm electret clone out of China in there from the factory. Skip providing the stand, cable, shockmount, and target the $20 market to actually compete with the xm8500 in terms of value proposition. Instead of a full color printed cardboard box, a carded clamshell case with open cell foam so we can pack the thing away after using it on a snare or vocals and toss it in a corner. Review: Well, it IS a CAD, sort of. I mean it has the CAD name on it BUT it is merely a CHINESE 19mm mid size diaphram on the same old tired circuit board used in the $12 condensers that have been on desertcart for years and years. It's noisy, low output, has to have +48 phantom power and pickup pattern is where ever you talk into it :-( on the plus, this one was used with short stand, XLR cable, windscreen for $23 ## Features - Large format design - High sensitivity studio condenser capsule - Highly effective studio grade isolation shock mount - Cardioid pattern resists room noise - Includes studio shock mount, tripod stand, XLR cable and foam windscreen ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0859PHMB5 | | Antenna Location | Video Conference | | Audible Noise | 78 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 124 Decibels | | Box Contents | Large Format Side Address Studio Condenser Microphone, studio grade shock mount, tripod stand, XLR cable, foam windscreen | | Brand Name | CAD AUDIO | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (69) | | Enclosure Material | Foam | | Item Dimensions | 20 x 7.8 x 19.6 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Condenser Microphone | | Item Weight | 522 Grams | | Manufacturer | CAD Audio | | Manufacturer Part Number | GXL1800 | | Microphone Form Factor | Table Array | | Model Name | Condenser Microphone | | Model Number | AMS-GXL1800 | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | Special Feature | Stand | | UPC | 631922109139 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CAD AUDIO - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer - **Connectivity technology:** XLR - **Connector type:** XLR - **Model name:** Condenser Microphone - **Polar pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended uses for product:** Video Conference - **Special feature:** Stand ## Images ![CAD Large Format Side Address Condenser Microphone - Perfect for Studio, Podcasting & Streaming - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yRXztQ-LL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***T on 2 May 2025* Taking apart the gxl1800 it looks just like all the other mics that come out of Guangdong.
