Incredible Value with This Stereo Pair!

The Samson C02 offers a pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones — ideal for both studio and stage use. With their sensitive, low-mass elements and high SPL handling, the C02 microphones excel at recording every nuance of sources such as drums, piano, cymbals, and acoustic instruments. If you need to record outside, a foam windscreen is included — it's also handy for reducing plosives on vocal sources. Other features gold-plated XLR connectors, feedback-rejecting supercardioid pickup patterns, and included shockmount microphone clips, and a carrying case with the Samson C02.

Samson C02 Small-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone Pair Features:
  • Cardioid Pickup Pattern
  • Gold-plated XLR connectors
  • Carry Case & shock-mounted mic clips included
  • Sold as stereo pair

The Samson C02 offers high-performance — but cost-effect — solution for stereo recording!

I am STILL blown away by these. Have had them for maybe 4/5 months. Recorded acoustic gtrs, congas, other hand percussion and they always deliver. Very clear crisp sound.

These are amazing. I'm using them as Overheads for my drums, and the clarity is unmatched for anything even double the price. The first thing I noticed was how the attack on the ride came out. When I ... read more [+]heard that "tink tink tink" sound come out on my recording THAT clear, I was instantly motivated to just write a review about these. I can NOT wait to see how my acoustic guitar will sound when I aim one mic at the sound-hole, and one at the fret-board! close [-]
