Pair of CAD CM217 Dynamic Supercardioid Microphones — Compact Pencil‑Style Dynamics, Excellent Condition

This listing is for two CAD CM217 microphones, a rare pair of pencil‑format dynamic mics known for their tight supercardioid pickup pattern, compact size, and impressive rejection of background noise. Unlike most pencil mics—which are condensers—the CM217 is a dynamic capsule, making it ideal for close‑miking instruments, narration practice, travel rigs, and recording in untreated rooms.

Both microphones are in excellent working condition. They’re lightweight, durable, and extremely easy to position on small stands or travel setups. Their low sensitivity and strong off‑axis rejection make them perfect for capturing focused sound in noisy or reflective environments.
