Introducing another musically empowering Samson condenser mic. Never before has a studio mic this good been available at this price. Like the finest studio mics costing hundreds, even thousands of dollars, the CL7 has a true capacitor condenser mic element. Capacitor-based elements are warmer, brighter and bigger sounding than electret-based elements. The CL7 features a large, 1.1-inch, ultra thin diaphragm capsule which faithfully reproduces a variety of sound sources including vocals, acoustic instruments and overhead cymbals, to name just a few.
