Mike grows out his beard for extra noise dampening.
accurate comment
I need to do this too. My rock hard and highly angular jaw must be causing reverb or something 🤔
👏😂👏
I'm not even interested in going into voice over, your videos are just really interesting
Very kind of you to say! Thanks!
Same!.
ikr!
Ditto.
yeah same here
On the one hand, it's nice they took care of it for you. On the other hand, it's a shame they only took care of it for you because you have a RUclips channel with some presence. If you had been a regular consumer, it seems like they would have just ignored you.
EXACTLY!
That's EXACTLY what I'm concerned about as well.
bingo. And I'm in the market considering this mic.... NEXT
I think this comment/video might change there attitude. :-D
Was there any difference between before and after the refurb? Sure can't tell from THIS video!
Glad it worked out for you. My takeaway is that if I ever have a problem with a CAD mic no problem just come here and start complaining. Thanks Mike! You da man.
As I'm using some cheap earphones, it sounds awesome before and after. This mic is a bit pricey in Europe compare to the US... I would love to use one (or two) :-D
With headphones on i could clearly hear the difference, before the fix i had to the volume at 100 and then after i needed to turn it down.
I know this is SUPER off topic but I really feel like you are or were apart of Star Wars. Like maybe I’ve seen you before or you should just really be in it. You look SO Star Wars! Think about it...
Thank you so much for bringing this issue to public, I had the dreaded problem with my e100s like yours. I sent it in and it got repaired and now I am a happy man, Thanks!!!!
I loved seeing the excitement in your face when you first "heard" the quiet!
Mike,
Thank you so much for putting out these videos and for introducing me to this microphone. I was looking for a microphone for podcasting and making audio books and this is the one I went with. I bought it off Massdrop and I did have to return it to CAD because the noise floor was high, but now it is incredibly quiet and makes listening to the audiobook I'm making, so much better.
Mike -- just wanted to thank you for posting this. Based on your results, I sent my E100S to CAD (mentioning this video in my service request). 3 days later, I got it back -- absolutely NOISE FREE! My reaction was the same as yours: "Wow!"
That is great to hear!
They've asked for feedback. Could you pls ask them what they changed?
This was the video that solidified my choice to get this mic and I have LOVED it for the last three years. But I just now saw that it has been discontinued! The latest rendition looks to be called the E100Sx. Would love to see a review of that if/when it's available now! (The website says coming soon still)
I knew it! Mine has never had the issues you were having. So glad it's fixed, Mike.
+Jeff Clement me too! Thanks!
I became a CAD fan when I went to a studio where they had a modified E-200. I bought one and had it modified too with their mods guy. It's the best mic I have ever owned, and the one I use the most. I also have a CAD E-100 2. I prefer the Modified E-200.
that cad has a awesome presence just enough bass and incredible highs
Good on CAD for getting this fixed. I wanted the E100S, but after hearing the hiss and problems Mike was having, I changed my mind.
Now, the E100S is back at the top of my list.
Not only is it a shame that you had to send your mic back twice, worse is that CAD sells mics that don't match their own specs in the first place. I sent mine back immediately. It was horribly noisy. The fact that CAD made your mic so quiet just makes them seem more sleazy. It tells me they know how to make them quiet before they send them out the first time. But, apparently, they just don't care enough to live up to their own advertising.
Mine was originally dead quiet for a year or so, but recently noticed quite a bit more noise... I'm definitely contacting CAD for a fix. Excellent mic when right
yes! this is exactly what mine sounds like. it's like an SM7b of the condenser world. E100s has such an aggressive sound with almost no self noise.
We picked up one of these at the BH daily special at $199.00 after watching your videos. Oh, thx btw for taking the time to produce these videos. Anyway, thought we’d take a chance at that price plus BH has an excellent return policy. Hooked it up to a Tascam dr-40 to see If there was any crazy noise and was none that I could hear. The number 5391 was affixed to mic if that means anything. Thx again for your time and talent. 😷
Old video but I have an old CAD M177 I've had for a number of years I needed a part for and their customer service people were super responsive and friendly and hooked me right up. I got that mic for like $49 on a closeout and it's shockingly good for what it is.
Last I looked (a while back) CAD were assembled in the U.S., but were actually among the first mics with-all Chinese guts-so whatever the CAD marketing department would have you believe, they are Chinese mics. That doesn't mean that, therefore, they are bad mics, but it's unlikely the e100 would ever be as quiet or as good sounding overall as, for example, a KSM32.
Sounds like a hassle with all of the back and forth shipping. I really want to like this mic, but it sounds like a gamble. When I upgrade from my nt1, it'll be to a mkh416 I think. I'll choose reliability and QC any day.
Thanks for doing these videos!
I was planning to buy this mic, but your video proves that the company sells sub quality product, and only agrees to address its defects if you're a big youtuber. That's shameful.
I’m buying one of these at some point. Maybe around the holidays.
I always let the ads run to help you out. I really appreciate your info,
Thank you for staying on this. I am going to send my mic in tomorrow.
Got mine back. What a difference!
What a bad luck with them. I never had issues with mine E100S and I read they were good to their customers... What a bad surprise :( Glad they've at last done something to help you!
Awesome! My E100S is a couple years old and originally was dead silent, but I've noticed a quite noticeable "wind" noise the last few months. Definitely going to contact CAD. Thanks!
I got a kick out of your "surprise" of it all. I have a couple of the GXL2200's and have been very happy with them for internet radio broadcasting. I've been toying with going into VO as a "retirement" gig and all of your info is extremely helpful and importantly, entertaining.
That's one happy junkie!
Yay!! I'm glad you got your mic fixed!
Wow, the first video of your I could hear! Not because of the mic, but because all the prior videos I have seen you upload then so quietly that I have to crank my nice Bluetooth headphones and phone to 10, then push the pads against my ears. Great job! And glad they fixed your CAD!
Yeah, this is the way it should sound like. Even gets quieter when using a high pass filter, not on the mic, but on a pre-amp.
The Neumann has a low frequency rumble
Yes, I heard this as well. Definite low end rumble.
Absolutely right!
Yeah but probably was on a bad area
I cannot gelp but feel the rumble came from handling the mic. it was gone as soon as he put the Neumann down.
I know I'm 3 years late to do the game, but, his mic sounds great to me. But, I don't know anything about this subject. I'm just learning.
Glad that your mic has been fixed this made me think again in buying a CAD e100s
oh btw great that you haven't hit your sennheiser this time
thanks for your efforts Mike keep up your awesome work
Ha! Totally worth the effort of packing it up and having some patience :) Great vid!
Hey Mike, thank you very much for posting this video! I began to hear more noise with my CAD E100S-or was I imagining the noise? I sent my mic to CAD for a diagnosis. They informed me that the mic was repaired under warranty and is on it's way back! I will let you know how it behaves when I get it. Thanks again!!!
well done...i was listening on my mackie hr824's the returned version sounds great no more wall of noise
Thanks Mike. Great vid..love your vids....I have learnt so much. I would love to buy one of these but getting one that works does sound like a gamble to me. The QC is terrible. Lots of people woth noise problems out there.
Also living in the UK and sending it back and forth to the USA...forget about it. (You had to do this 2 times....fo real?....what does that say about the company)
Glad it worked for you. For me I am guessing they would have little incentive going by reviewers
3:02 that cut was too satisfying
I love your videos Mike - Realy great stuff. However, as an audio engineer and recording instructor, I cringe when I see condenser mics plugged and unplugged while phantom power is engaged. Could this be a contributing factor to the noise your e100s developed? Thanks again for these fantastic comparisons!
It shouldn't matter. It can make a "pop" noise in the monitors but no quality mic should be damaged by this hot swap.
You got that kind of personalized attention precisely because you are on RUclips and have 12 thousand subscribers. Bad publicity speaks loudly.
i own two of these and they both are lovely.. a little bright in the high end, but if you compensate with eq they are KILLER!
Yes, wow. Very nice!
Interestingly the Neumann is humming away all the time at ~50 to 60Hz (but very silently).
Great Video ! I can tell you are passionate about microphones and its sound. Fantastic job, I felt your excitement when you tested the CAD after it was delivered.. awesome!. When you get a chance would you recommend some budget microphones so that I can record my videos, sometimes they sound very bad and its probably because I use the integrated microphone of HD camera. Any guidance is appreciated !
Update...I purchased an Audio Technical at2005 dynamic mic to be able to eventually upgrade , what usb audio interface would you recommend to use with it ?
TLM103 has some hum. Though it could be your cable.
Thank You for communal ripple of joy today!! I'm sure there'll be a bump in CAD sales today :)
I really like that wooden box.
My almost new E100s was noisy. Sent it back at a cost of almost AUS $100 with insurance, tracking, sign on delivery. Came back a couple of days ago much quieter, similar to your second return. But now it has developed a new noise issue, sounds like low-level rolling thunder or wind buffeting. I love this mic when it works but sheesh, this is too much.
Part of the reason I went with a new RODE NT1 instead of the CAD e100s is this video and its comments, plus a video by George Whittam. There’s a number of people posting on other sites about the same apparent QC issue.
Ok, now I’m sold.
I had no idea what you were talking about, until I heard the returned version. But..I liked the Neumann better, in the small clip I heard.
Hey Mike, just wondering how it's behaved in the 1.5 yrs since this? I just had mine fixed, a similar 'wow' moment when I got it back....just hoping it sticks.
Interesting to see someone else who asked for repair and was met with good results. I see many comments here suggesting they only repaired Mike's because of RUclips.
i love it. i get like that when i'm excited about good tech. "we're going to do a sound test video. yeah, we're going to do another sound test video". Pumped for you bro!!
I'm glad they fixed it!
Cool channel! I stumbled upon your videos and I got hooked when you emphasized the importance of the recording space rather than buying the 5k condenser and record yourself in bathroom with it. Are you gonna tackle the the preamp world anytime soon? Three good mics and three good preamps/interfaces from three price categories would be awesome.
Oh my god, what a difference between the CAD and the Sennheiser! I'm not sure why you're so in love with that e100s. It sounds like an NT1A, but not as quiet. The e100 is way nicer sounding. I'd love to see you compare the vintage e1999 and the MKH 416.
Man you have a great voice. Happy that you mic is working fine now!
What was the spectral view like in your DAW. Mine was petty grainy. I hear the noise floor a lot...I have a dbx286 and scarlett 2i2 on windows adobe audition
Glad to hear this! They've had some pretty spotty QC the last few years. So much in fact that I started recommending against this otherwise fantastic mic. My theory that they were selling fast and they couldn't make them fast enough and let QC slip to make more might hold some water because the voice-over world is really taken by this mic.
I have yet to make the plunge into voice over work on my youtube videos.. You have a really great channel! Such an interesting line of work.
This actually gives me asmr. Something about listening to silence through a mic. Idk
Your videos are awesome and i love follow you in your different "work situation" (i don't know how can i tell that) but continue and i hope you will keep this voice for the rest of your life x)
Damn, they messed up a LOT of mics. Cuz this is not the first demo of CAD e100 that has awfully high noise, despite "super quiet" claims
Mike! You mentioned in this video that this mic has a 5 year warranty. I ordered mine through the Massdrop offer and when it arrived I noted that there were two warranty terms mentioned in the accompanying literature. The warranty card states in large letters at the top "5 Year Limited Warranty." However there is an asterisk at the bottom of the card stating " 2 year warranty on all products classified as Personal Audio." It also says on the same card, "See product specification sheet, included with your microphone for warranty details." My enclosed spec sheet states "Two Year Limited Warranty."
Did you get yours serviced within 2 years? Do you happen to have any clarity on this apparent conflict of statements?
I'm just trying to sort this out.
******************* UPDATE *******************
Email reply from CAD confirms that the warranty term is 5 years!
what an amazing mic, sounds so pure.
Let's hope they have that kind of customer care for all their customers
I just love your voice bro, you sound like the typicall guy that is perfect for all comercials and shiit, even trailers ^^
I am not subscribed because I don't really have interest in Microphones but I love your videos and the way you make them
Wow!!!! Big difference!
Think you're right...but your video might cause a lot of people writing du CAD saying "it's too noisy", when the problem is the interface - not the mic.
Had that problem with my NT1a...I had no experience with "studio mics" and it was noisy af...luckily I got a friend who's a sound engeneer. He told me that my interface might be broken...
Plot Twist. It wasnt...but the USB Port made some noise....man....took me hours find that problem...just using another usb port fixed everything xD
i just got into entry level xlr to get rid of my headset mic.
really went the dirt cheap neewer nw 800 way plus a generic 48v phantom supply.
who knows.. maybe one day i'll just throw a neat chunk of money into that area.
for now it's just for teamspeak, ingame chats and maybe twitch.. so.. i guess it's fine for now.
there sure is a huge quality difference but you know.. i don't have any plans on making serious money with it and at least it's xlr :D
Your voice is great
FYI to all ... I received a CAD e100s Wednesday, August 9, 2017 from MassDrop. It has a definite hum when I touch the -10db pad ... sounds like 60hz hum. Also, the front of the mic, the black plastic/rubbery part looks scuffed up a bit ... my guess is I got a refurbished unit. I've emailed MassDrop asking for a refund. I'm likely done with CAD and might be done with MassDrop, depending on how they handle my situation. Thanks all.
Sounds really really good, indeed.
Wow! The Neumann sounds way better!
Really love tests like this.
Did you notice any change to the sound of the mic? You seem to have more of the "radio" voice with the fixed E100s.
More enhanced lows... not just the noise fixed... just sounds better.. more commanding... more James Earl Jones -ish.
Buy a Rode NT1 recording kit, all black with wicked cool black shock mount and black metal mesh pop filter, send the mic to Micheal Jolly, pay the $360 for his U-87 modification, and when it gets back your done. You have a mic that sounds exactly like a Nueman U-87($3,500), but looks a hell of a lot better, and all for around 600 bucks!!!
Yeah, listen to Hardey Leone's *wisdom*
- why would anyone be so *stupid* to spend *under* $1000 (incl shipping) to attain $3500 sound Q?
How "dumb" of you, it's a good thing people like Hardey Leone are on youtube to *save us all* from *cost-saving* ventures!
lol
Something about the hair color in your avatar makes your reply seem appropriate.
Hey Mike. Love your videos. Do you have any videos or advice on the preamps for your Zoom? Bought one after watching your "First VO Booth" set up. Thanks a bunch!
Dang, i wanted to buy one of these, but I don't want to buy a mic that I'm going to have to send in.
This was one special video!!
For 1 because it was so spontanious.
Really cool andyour right, that mic sounds great!
ps; you already know but Mat mcGlyn from recordinghacks has his own brand; Roswell microphones / Roswell pro audio. He's the go-to guy when it comes to mics and spreading the knowledge about the topic :-)
Warm audio Can listen without any reason they claim blame but The original warm is here 🤣🤣 Cad 100s And X 🤣🤣... 😄😎 from india..
The repair landscape has changed dramatically in the time since this video was made. My e-100s has been sitting at the Southaven, MS repair depot for two months. The communication with the staff there is hit-and-miss at best. The e-100s is a great mic, no doubt about it, but proceed with extreme caution if you're considering buying one, as the service operation of American Music and Sound is laughably incompetent.
Dan Hankiewicz has the repair issue you experienced been resolved? I'm really interested in purchasing an e100s, but have been wondering about the noise issues, because, with my luck, I already know I will have to send it in for repair.
They finally did conclude that my unit could not be fixed and sent me a new one. Why that process took two months is beyond me. I had not noticed the "self noise" issue that Mike spoke about, either in the original or the replacement, although it is my understanding that many have experienced that issue. Still, great mic. As Mike stated on his recent VOBS appearance, it does capture the low end exceptionally well for someone with a rich, deep, bassy voice like myself.
Dan Hankiewicz thank you for the prompt reply. As it is, I find myself torn between this and the Neumann 103. I like the sound of both, but at less than half the price, the e100s is really attractive. The sound issues seem to be pretty normal, however, and that gives me pause.
Hey Mike, Since you did this video in 2017 have they corrected the problem with the 2020 to 2021 mics they sell know. It would be a shame if customers still have to send their mics in to be service 3 1/2 years later.
Wow, great changes
the neumanl had a low freq hum, and i literally heard nothing on the CAD
Taylor I heard just a bit of noise, but the Neumann had the same noise PLUS the hum.
Wow. I really sure now for buy this mic!
For anyone out there, just get rode nt1 2014. It is almost the best mic out there for anything.
RUclips Channel nt1 2014 is different from nt1a, which has fuller sound and lower noise(actually almost the lowest noise of all condenser mic).
RUclips Channel yeah i know.
RUclips Channel I think you were talking about nt1a not nt1 2014. Nt2a has more presence than nt1 2014.
Are you in a sound treated space? If you are this would be a logical reason for better mic performance.
wow now I wish I would have got in on the massdrop for it!! at least from the short test here the cad may even sound better
Someone in the QA/repair is a deadbeat! Had you not pressed in the video (which somehow got back to other than a minion) you'd have a junkie mic! Point in favor of NOT getting a CAD!!
+1 interested in follow-up to hear what CAD said was the issue. Great videos!
Who wants a headache?
Sending mics for repair would be a horror show for someone in a different country!
I would buy this mic today but I’m scared of that noise, it’s a big despoilment
The CAD sounds better then the other two there.
I didn't hear any noise at all in the 1st part. Perhaps RUclips doesn't reproduce this alleged noise? The 1 st part sounds 100% fine to me. And there are TONS of videos on RUclips by some pretty knowledgeable music producers whose voice tracks don't sound as good as the 1st part of the video.
RUclips does reproduce that noise. Turn the volume up, and you should hear it (in that older video) even on medium-grade headphones - I can easily hear it even on my cheap-old ones.
The Neumann has a low frequency rumble.
