    Dabord then I must say that I had to file a notice flem, but seeing one of the igh idiot that I immediately decided. He lad ken if you use you this micro hear you take a piss appointment in ear, nose, pck acouphnes of thee!

    I had this micro 150 with the suspension, I was advised by a guy who spends his time in the studio and has done a lot of dej miking with the C01.

    In addition I saw this on a site 75 micro direct sales Germany, then frankly you need?

    Well, even when it is static. I use the dynamic type rgulirement Sennheiser E835 Shure SM58, or that are clearly made to cash level prs but can not compete, far from it with a static as the C01.
    Ok it is not expensive but trs was a delicacy and sensitivity without comparison.
    I test on an alto hot enough, your exact trs is good. But I worked in the plutt blackmailing prs enough and not too hard (with the necessary anti-pop). Not that this lack of sensitivity microphone (I do not understand a rating o it is said that nothing has captured plutt ...), but because I think he just dsunit when the level rises.
    I confirm that it is good in mdiums trs, it is better to use it in the register. …

    I confirm that it is good in mdiums trs, it is better to use it in the register. Its brightness may be a little EXAGRES in the high harmonics just Global Warming, it's perfect.
    Test also on a guitar Scheer, a good nitre and DCAL the rosette. The still beautiful rsultat.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Trs good advice overall well-sr: for the price one has a micro really not bad. While it is not super versatile (confined to the voices or instruments not too powerful and concentrated on mdium), but what really is micro?

    This is a Studio Condenser Mic.

    OVERALL OPINION

    SAMSON C01 STUDIO CONDENSER

    I have a pair of these that I have had since about the year 2000. I bought them as vocal Mics for my home studio and actually used them as such for several years, albums and demos.

    The Mics are pretty decent sounding. They are large diaphragms and give a decent enough sound for the price but they tend to distort fairly easily under load. So I would not recommend using them in a Kick drum or on a powerful male or female voice. You will get some distortion even with a pad on your pre-amp.

    They require 48-volt phantom power as do all studio condensers and you will find, as I did, that they sound a littl…

    I have a pair of these that I have had since about the year 2000. I bought them as vocal Mics for my home studio and actually used them as such for several years, albums and demos.

    The Mics are pretty decent sounding. They are large diaphragms and give a decent enough sound for the price but they tend to distort fairly easily under load. So I would not recommend using them in a Kick drum or on a powerful male or female voice. You will get some distortion even with a pad on your pre-amp.

    They require 48-volt phantom power as do all studio condensers and you will find, as I did, that they sound a little thinner than your average large diaphragm condenser Mic.

    All that being said, these can be gotten at almost any music store for around fifty dollars US and when you look at them in that context. They are a great Mic.

    If you have an average voice without a bunch of power and use some distance between you and the Pop Filter, you will get good useable results.

    I have a low baritone voice and I need to stand about 3 feet away to not distort it. My wife, on the other hand with her higher female voice, uses this Mic and sounds great on it. So if you look over the response curve and try it on some real world situation tests, you should get a lot of good out of these.

    The unit comes in a cheap plastic case; one of mine is still in great shape the other has pulverized. Invest in the shock mount, you will need it to save you from stand, floor noise.

    I have since moved to a better Mic but keep the Samson C01s for drum overheads and they really ROCK there.
