Cad U37 Microphone Setup

Cad U37 Microphone Set Up On Windows 8
U37 Microphone Guide

At a cheaper cost (nearly half the price of the previous models mentioned), the CAD U37 has a large cardioid pick-up pattern for good sound isolation, 10dB overload-protection to prevent distortion, and a bass-reduction switch to give you some more custom options. It’s been stated to be effective when recording other instruments if you’ll be doing that as well.

Hi Adam,

Turn off AGC, that thing gives the mic Superman levels of hearing. On Recording devices I have AGC off, 90% volume, and 1 channel/16bit/48000. The only thing is OBS was giving me some weird audio compression problems since my new rig, so make sure it's also recording your mic at the same hz and a fairly good quality (192 I have it at now).
I would like the microphone to able to work directly with the Studio One program, but I have been told perhaps to download ASIO 4 ALL. Will this help at all because when I have the mic plugged in I get a 'Audio disabled' prompt and the program says unable to enable the CAD U37 microphone. What should I do?

It could be due to missing/corrupt drivers or missing updates.

Are you able to use the Microphone?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

Try to run Hardware Troubleshooter. It checks for common issues and makes sure that any new device or hardware attached to your computer was installed correctly.

a. Press Windows Logo Key+X then click on Search option.

b. Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes and click on Troubleshooting.

c. In the new window, click View all on the left pane.

d. In the list of options, click on Hardware and devices.

e. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Followed through with those steps, it doesn't seem to make any difference. The problem is that the microphone doesn't show up under recording devices what so ever, so I can't even select it. It's not recognized by the computer and I've tried re-installing my sound drivers multiple times and no effect has taken place. The mic cord isn't broken because the light comes on indicating that it's ready, it's just not recognized by my computer.

Hi Adam,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Are you able to connect other audio devices to the computer?

Try connecting using a different USB port.

Also, try connecting it to a different device and check.

If the solutions on other tabs didn't work, try the audio troubleshooter.It might be able to fix your issue automatically.

Try different audio formats.

Go to Start, enter Sound, and select Sound Control Panel from the list of results.
On the Playback tab, right-click (or tap and hold) the Default Device, and then select Properties.
On the Advanced tab, under Default Format, change the setting, and then retest your audio device. If that doesn't work, try changing the setting again.
