Front End Audio acquires previously owned gear through our Buy-Back program. You can purchase used gear at a great price but there are no manufacturer warranties with these items. These items have been inspected and/or tested by our staff to make sure each one is in working condition and comes with our commitment to service. This Advanced Audio CM87SE FET Microphone looks good and function perfectly.
The Advanced Audio CM87SE FET Microphone is built to a very high standard and offers a remarkably full yet well-defined and ultra-clean sound. The Advanced Audio CM87SE FET Microphone came about because a fellow engineer asked Dave at Advanced Audio if he could use the original CM87 in close on drums in a “Glynn Johns” type set-up where the microphones are less than 2’ from the closest drum or cymbal source. To accomplish this Advanced Audio fit a more complex output transformer with dual windings and bi-metal lamination's that is able to handle more easily the fast rising drum transients when placed close to the drums.
The CM87SE in all other aspects is identical to the CM87. It is a large diaphragm fet three pattern condenser microphone that features our double-diaphragm/double back-plate 6-micron AK67 type capsule and Class “A” transformer coupled amplifier design. It is well suited for recording vocals or instruments in any studio or live application and able to capture the drums at very close distances. The CM87SE is built to a very high standard and offers a remarkably full yet well-defined and ultra-clean sound. Advanced Audio fits the more sophisticated output transformer in house and therefore the CM87SE goes through a more rigorous level of QC.
Like the CM87 the CM87SE can be configured as either omni, cardioid, or figure-eight via a front mounted metal toggle switch.
