FEATURES
The CM 90 is a classic small diaphragm (0.79”, 20mm) condenser mic. It offers transformerless output and true condenser
design (element constantly biased by the pre-amp) for exceptionally low self noise and increased dynamic range, enhanced
low and high end response with improved linearity across the frequency range and maximum SPL capacity.
The capsule is hand tooled from brass and features a 3-micron gold-evaporated-on-Mylar diaphragm for maximum sensitivity,
long life, detail and tone. The CM 90 uses a carefully selected Field Effect Transistor (FET), specially chosen for its low distor-
tion and superior signal-to-noise ratio.
(Note: For optimum performance, it is best to let the microphone warm up for 5 to 10 minutes)
The CM 90 is manufactured with the finest materials and features a machined housing with advanced internal shock mount
construction for the highest structural integrity and rugged reliability. It requires 48V phantom power to operate, typically sup-
plied by the microphone pre-amplifier or mixing console. The optional Nady SMPS-1 phantom power supply can also be used.
