Samson Introduces CL7a & CL8a Studio Condenser Microphones

Samson, an industry pioneer in professional audio products, launches the CL7a and CL8a Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphones at NAB 2019. Featuring stunning sound, sturdy construction and premium electronics, the CL7a and CL8a are the ideal mics for the home or professional studio.

CL7a Large Diaphragm Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The CL7a is a large diaphragm condenser mic designed for the studio environment. Inside the CL7a capsule is a 1.1" 3-micron thick, gold-sputtered diaphragm that delivers a lush, balanced sound. The smooth mids and slight high-frequency lift around 15 kHz create a natural tone a smoother and warmer sound that conveys an acoustic ambience when used on instruments, and “breathing space” when used to record vocals.

The cardioid pickup pattern enhances isolation during recording, minimizing the sound from other instrument sources behind the CL7a. This makes the microphone great for studio and live applications. A selectable two-pole high-pass filter at 100 Hz removes any unwanted low frequency content like stage rumble or wind noise. Additionally, the CL7a can handle extreme SPL of up to 147 dB, making it an ideal guitar cabinet overhead drum microphone. The CL7a includes a 10 dB attenuation pad, which is used to prevent overloading the onboard preamplifier by lowering the input sensitivity of the microphone preamp circuit. Inside the durable die-cast body, an internal shock-mount provides both protection for capsule and isolation from vibration noise.

CL8a Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

The Samson CL8a multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone delivers balanced, detailed sound from its custom tuned condenser capsule. Inside the CL8a capsule is a dual 1.1" gold-sputtered, 4-micron thick diaphragm providing the versatility for capturing solo performers and multi-instrumental groups. The dual-diaphragm design of the Samson CL8a microphone unlocks a range of selectable pickup patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional), delivering flexible miking options for a variety of studio situations.

A selectable two-pole high-pass filter at 100 Hz removes unwanted low frequency content like stage rumble or wind noise. The robust capsule and electronics are able to withstand tremendous sound pressure levels of up to 147 dB allowing you to capture powerful low frequency content without distortion. The CL8a includes a 10 dB attenuation pad, which is used to prevent overloading the onboard preamplifier by lowering the input sensitivity of the microphone preamp circuit.
