Samson C01 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Wired

Good quality

Good product

I'm so happy with this mic, considering the price and some of the other reviews that were really nit picky! It picks up a clear and I feel accurate sound. Love the carrying case to keep it clean and safe when not in use. The body feels solid and the mount is a sturdy metal.

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 Amazon 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!

This is my first studio condenser microphone for home studio recording. I really like the material used. Very durable and nice design. I didnt try it yet, as I am still waiting for my audio interface. I watched lots of reviews and videos on youtube about this microophone and decided to invest on SAMSON C01 condenser microphone.

Es un micrófono que capta de forma plana el espectro de frecuencias de tu voz, lo que quiere decir es que la respuesta que tiene es muy balanceada tanto en graves, medios y agudos. Yo utilizando la tarjeta de sonido U-PHORIA UM2 (la más básica) he conseguido grandes resultados. El único punto malo o detalle que me gustaría que tuviese es un soporte para el microfono y el cable XLR ya en el pack, pero para el precio que tiene y la calidad que ofrece me voy muy contento.
