Congratulations on your purchase of the Samson C15 studio condenser.  The C15 fea-
tures a large, 19mm ultra thin diaphragm capsule which faithfully reproduces a vari-
ety of sound sources including vocals, acoustic instruments and overhead cymbals to 
name a few.  The extended frequency and fast transient response insures an accurate 
reproduction with linear characteristics from bottom to top.
