The Samson C02 condenser microphones deliver high audio performance while remaining cost effective. Delivered as a pair, the microphones excel in applications requiring dual placement. Drum cymbals, overheads, percussion, guitar, piano, strings and vocals are accurately captured and reproduced in detail. The C02's low-mass capsule features a supercardioid polar pattern. The supercardioid pattern provides a tight pickup area at the front of the microphone. The result minimizes ambient room noise and signals from nearby instruments and monitors that may cause feedback. A wide, linear frequency response results in rich detail while minimizing low-frequency noise. The C02 requires external +48V phantom power and is a suitable solution for recording and live-sound applications. Extended Frequency Response The C02 features a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz which accurately reproduces audio with great detail while minimizing low-frequency noise. Tight Supercardioid Polar Pattern In addition to the front-firing design of the capsule, the supercardioid polar pattern minimizes pickup at the off-axis sections, eliminating ambient noise and reducing feedback. High SPL Response The C02 accurately reproduces signal at high sound-pressure levels without noise or distortion.
