Thank you for purchasing the CL2 Condenser Microphone, stereo matched
pair kit from Samson Audio. Ideal for a variety of miking applications from
vocals to instruments, ensembles to soloist, to just about any sound source
that needs to be amplified or recorded, the CL2 condenser microphone
brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance. The CL2 is a pencil
style, externally biased, true capacitor (condenser) pressure gradient micro-
phone that excels in both live performance and recording applications. For
added versatility, the CL2 matched pair kit comes with interchangeable omni
and cardioid capsules featuring three micron, gold-sputtered diaphragms and
precision-tuned back plates. Equipped with a linear frequency response for
superior reproduction, the microphone has also been designed to withstand
high sound pressure level capabilities of 141 dB in cardioid and 138 db in
omni. The microphone also features a built-in selectable High Pass Filter and
10dB pad. Plus, the CL2 matched pair kit includes a complete set of useful
accessories for each microphone. Two 360 degree suspension mounts, two
micro-perforated stainless steel pop filters, two windscreens, two microphone
clips and a twin mic holder for stereo miking, fit neatly in the included alumi-
num carry case protecting the microphones while in storage, in the studio or
on the road with the band.
