## Description

Product Description Versatile and Affordable Studio Condenser MicSamson's C01 has all the performance features that you demand from a large diaphragm studio condenser microphone. Featuring a large, dual-layer 19mm diaphragm with a cardioid pickup pattern, the C01 produces a smooth flat frequency response. Its two ultra-thin sensor membranes pick up far more detailed sounds than any dynamic coil. The result is a mic that captures accurate, detailed and smooth audio with warm bass tones and extended top end. You'll hear the strings and wood of your guitar, the breath and resonance of a singer, or the brassy shimmer of a ride cymbal with crystal clarity. It's the perfect solution for recording vocals, acoustic instruments or use as an overhead drum mic.Featuring a large, dual-layer 19mm diaphragm with a cardioid pickup pattern.View largerHyper-Cardioid Pickup PatternWhile omni and bi-directional microphones are very useful for a variety of applications, the majority of miking situations in recording and live sound require unidirectional or cardioid microphones. The uni-directional nature allows for better separation of instruments in the studio and more control over feedback in live sound reinforcement. The C01 condenser's pick-up pattern is hyper-cardioid, which offers even more side-to-side rejection. When positioned correctly the hyper-cardioid pick-up pattern allows you to pick up more of the sound you want and less of the sound you don't want.Solid Construction and StabilityThe C01's design includes a heavy gauge mesh grill, gold-plated XLR connecter and an LED for monitoring its 48V of phantom power. It also comes with a swivel mount that can be attached to any standard mic stand. In addition, an optional SP01 spider shock mount is available for increased mic and sound stability. Samson's C01 is one of the best values available from a professional recording microphone.What's in the Box?Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, swivel stand mic mount and user manual.About SamsonSamson Technologies began in 1980 as a pioneer in wireless microphone technology.

Review: 5 Stars for a Cheapie! - Make no mistake, this microphone is not going to compare to a U47 or a 414, but, for the price, it gets five stars! First, the packaging is quiet secure. You get the microphone inside a hard case, inside a retail box, inside the desertcart box with expected package insulation materials. Next, the overall construction of the microphone is very sturdy. For the price, I was expecting a cheap plastic "toy" like feel and that's not what you get. This thing has some girth behind it and it's not something you'd want to smack the drummer with because it might actually hurt! I ordered this as a distant room/ambiance microphone and it's really good for that. You get clear sound, almost no noise and a very wide response range. I've also used it for a guitar and it sounds good and vocals are very clear. Although, if you are using it for vocals, use a 57 as well so you get the bottom end! That's the only drawback is that down in the real low end, say less than 200Hz, it gets just a little muddy. It still gets five stars because it's so good in other areas. I'd recommend using a 57 along with in. Yes, I know you could put an EQ on it and a bit of expander, but why not ingest the sound as cleanly as possible and do that much less post production on it later. As I said, it's not a U47, but, if you're the kind of recording place that really needs to limit the cost to a sub $200 microphone, then get one of these and a SM57 and you'll be glad you did!
Review: Solid build, great sounding mic. Side noise filters out well. - Very nice sounding mic, especially for the price range. If you want to hear a sample recording I did on this mic, go to SoundCloud /ace-and-gary/huffnoseblues or /nojimmynocry. These are just record ings of me noodling around on guitar with the mic going straight to my Line 6 UX2 interface. Mic was about 4 inches from my amp, which is a blues jr. I also recorded acoustic and it sounds great, tho you do need to be fairly close. This mic isn't what you'd use to capture a whole room. In fact I had it pointed at my amp, worth bass amp blaring right next to it, and on the recording you can't really even hear the bass line. It cancels side noise like crazy. Haven't done much with vocals cause i can't sing. But suffice it to say, this is a solid mic and well worth the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought samson mk-10 stand and samson c01. they have different screw size, what should i do? if i buy a spider shockmount, will it fit the stand?**
A: In side the swivel adapter for the C01 there is a 3/8"-16 euro internal thread adapter. This can be removed with a flathead screwdriver or a coin. The swivel adapter has internal threading for 5/8”-27 Mic stands.

**Q: Does anyone know what kind of mic I should use to amplify my classical guitar?**
A: I have been using the Samson CO1 in live applications.  I set up on a straight stand where it picks up mostly my voice but also just enough of the live guitar to supplement the sound of the pickup/pedalboard (I am using an LR Baggs VoicePrint for that…which is also excellent for live applications).  I am not singing directly into the mic so, basically, it picks up what I would call an “open air” sound.  There is no reason why you couldn’t use this mic for your classical guitar.  It will pick up some other sounds, depending on how you mic it up…but I think it will be great!  I am a big fan of this mic…especially considering the price.

**Q: We are hosting an event at anevent space but they do not have a microphone we could use for speeches. Would this work for us? If not, any suggestions?**
A: Shure SM 58 would be better, less hassle.

**Q: The Mic I purchased does not work what are my options?**
A: Are you using phantom power? It won't work without it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great mic and incredible value
*by S***S on December 18, 2014*

I love this mic. I have other much more expensive microphones that do not deliver the quality and clarity of sound that this mic does. I find it to be very clean for voiceover work, and it rejects room noise as well as any condenser I've ever tried. It's solidly built, and seems to be very well balanced across the lows, mids, and highs, not over-emphasized in any of them. I know some TV folks in my area who swear by these for voiceover work in the studio, and they love the balance. Highly recommended for those on a budget.
