Matched Stereo Pair Pencil Capacitor Mics

Samson went from a back room in a music store in Orange County CA to a world leader in music technology by one simple idea. Produce high-quality equipment at a price that anyone can afford. They continue this mission with the CL2 Pencil Condenser microphones. Available as a matched pair Samson CL2s are true capacitor condenser mics that feature a high pass filter and a 10dB pad.

Samson designed the CL2s to be flexible enough to accommodate a variety of recording and live applications. Each CL2 comes with a pair of elements (capsules) that can easily be detached to change the pickup pattern to either omni-directional or cardioid. The capsules feature 3-micron, gold-sputtered diaphragms, which can handle SPLs of 141dB (cardioid), while the omni element can handle 138dB.

The Samson CL2 is an ideal choice for stereo recording or miking individual instruments. It shines on orchestral instruments, acoustic guitar, piano, and of course overhead drum and cymbal miking. Offering an excellent value in a stereo pair, the CL2s come in a durable, lightweight aluminum case with a pair of mic clips, pop filters, windscreens, shockmounts, and the cardioid and omni capsules.


Samson CL2 Features:
  • A pair of true capacitor microphones
  • High pass filter and 10dB pad
  • Includes removable cardioid and omni-directional elements
  • Three micron, gold-sputtered diaphragms
  • Maximum SPLs of 141 dB (cardioid) and 138 dB (omni)

Yeah, not so bad... amazingly!

Bought them because i was going on tour in the US and didn't want to haul anything with me from home. Had them there waiting for me and was pretty pleased. When I bought them I wasn't sure I would bri... read more [+]ng them back with me. I decided to keep them.

Certainly not the best mics in the world. But they sound good. I have primarily been using them for piano (live and even a recording). Good accessories and really totally decked out case. They put the piano in a pretty good place in the mix.

Not $1000 mic, but hey, they also don't cost $1000! In my mic buying time machine, I would buy them again. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
