I think they've been around longer than that. Are they anything more than
repackaged versions of the old mics?

Geez, I thought those were old models, but that's what I get for
looking at manufactuers who change the model number slightly and call
it a new model.

Five months "lead time" is nothing in this business. Often products
are "introduced" a year to eighteen months before they're in the
pipeline.

Isn't it curious? One will rarely find anything bad being said about them
and yet they get mentioned much less frequently compared to other brands.
It's been like that even before the invasion of cheap chinese mics.

The Peavey syndrome?

I understand that the likes of Sanken, Nevaton etc.don't spring up in
discussions often as they are rather obscure or expensive or both. But
what's wrong with CAD/Equitek?
