General

If warm and accurate sound reproduction, multiple pickup patterns and a price that won't have you casually flee the scene is what you're looking for, then Samson's CL8a is the perfect large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Since it comes with a number of selectable and highly useful pickup patterns, you'll always be prepared for the job at hand, whether that's recording solo artists or entire bands. The CL8a features a two-pole high-pass filter to keep out undesired lows, while activating the option to dampen the signal by 10 dB is great for capturing high-SPL sound sources and takes a load off the built-in preamp. Samson have finished this capable studio mic with an integrated shock mount that serves two purposes: protect the diaphragm at all cost and absorb vibrations for higher quality recordings.
