Worst Mic Ever? - CAD U1 Review / Test (vs. XM8500, Q2u, ATR2100)
Today I review a mic that I bought for $16, a mic that I had labeled the worst mic that I have ever used. The CAD U1 seems to be a revised version of the version I reviewed in 2015, and it is a massive improvement over the original. I do think it still has quite a few faults that you'll need to be aware of while using it.
