Samson C02 Pencil Style Instrument Microphones (Pair)

Purchased to supplement my Rode M5 matched pair. I do Live Sound and use these as "choir" mics for live performances. They sound great and have very good pickup. I actually prefer the sound of these to the M5 for my purposes BUT my only complaint is that they aren't available in black.

  Durable, Great Sound

I am very happy with these two little guys ! So far using them for overheads on my drums. Look forward to experimenting with other applications as well. For the price, if your on a budget you cant go wrong.

Product is great worked well for our bell choir and children's choir. Best for any user professional or amateur.

  Durable, Excellent Craftsmanship, Great Intonation, Great Sound, Highly Responsive

I love these mic for my recordings and the price nobody can beat BH

I've used these microphones for live performance and recording, and they are phenomenal. Sensitive enough to pick up soft body percussion in a live setting and directional enough to cut out the audience. Also fantastic for stereo recordings of large groups or solo work.

Nice to find mics that won't hurt your pocket & work flawessly

I often play play trombone and trumpet and do minor singing at our performances. I can set one to vocals and the other to the horns. The case and kit that came with the mics; excellent! I bought my own power source so that I'm not at the mercy of sound systems without Phantom Power.

  Compact, Good Audio, Lightweight

Use these to get stereo recordings of live shows: Mariachis, Woodwind quintets, Blues duos, Brass bands, etc. They work really well with a Tascam DR100 digital recorder with its XLR mic inputs. Edit with Audacity and save as wav files. So far, so great.

These are some great sounding pencil condensers at a price that is hard to beat! The included stereo bar makes stereo recordings of any source as simple as it can be, since they can both mount on one microphone stand.

  compact, great sound, versatile

I've used pari of C02 so many times since I started recording. They sound natural to my ears, they never let me down. I would recommand C02 to anyone who is starting out recroding. With this stereo pair, possibilities of recording any sound are vary.
