I have one CAD E-100SE. It's is a good sounding mic, but it does not get
much use. I have used it on choir for radio broadcasts and found it
performs as well as most mics, but something with a broader pattern such
as
the Joe meek JM-37 or Behringer B-1 does a bit better in covering the
loft.
I find that a standard windscreen will stretch over the E-100
As a sound guy I kind of dislike giving any talent a mic with an off
switch,
which this model has.
I have not done the one mic thing with a bluegrass band, but I understand
it
is usually done with an omni.
I have had good results with the Samson C01, a LDC supercard, on live
choir,
and recording in live locations. at $69 ea I can afford to have several
of
the same, a big advantage when doing live work sometimes.
I think if I booked a bluegrass show that required a single mic I would
probably get a Behringer B-2 and try the omni thing..and probably turn on
some feedback suppression.
It might be kind of fun to do a show where the band mixes themselves :)
If you do go with these remember the 3 to one rule. To minimize comb
effect
the mice should be spaced 3 time the distance to the sound sources.
