Samson C02 While large-diaphragm mics seem to get all the glamorous press, small-diaphragm models have certain advantages, such as a generally more accurate off-axis response and a small acoustic shadow, making them the first choice for many types of instrument recording. Samsons new C02, measuring just 20 x 150mm, is a small-diaphragm mic of the classic stick type. It has a fixed tight cardioid pattern that verges on the hypercardioid. Few constructional details are given in the documentation, but the diaphragm seems to be around half an inch in diameter and the capacitor capsule requires 48V phantom power to operate. The housing is made from plated brass with gold-plated XLR pins to connect to a regular balanced mic cable, and the overall standard of construction seems solid and rugged. Show more
