CAD Audio has reissued the classic A77 vocal microphone, originally introduced by Astatic in 1959. The A77 is a large-diaphragm, side-address dynamic microphone that has been updated with a PowerGap high-gauss magnet and a TrueFlex diaphragm. In addition to its “retro” cosmetic appearance, the A77 delivers a high-powered, articulate sound that cuts through the mix in any live situation. Originally described as a “high fidelity uni-directional cardioid microphone,” the A77 featured an extensive dynamic range for that time of 30 to 15,000 c.p.s. CAD is also introducing the A77r mic to bring vintage ribbon sound to modern vocal situations. For details, visit cadaudio.com or booth #6630.
