General
If you're in the market for a matched pair of condenser pencil mics for making stereo recordings then this CL2 set by Samson fits the bill. It's ideal for capturing orchestra ensembles, acoustic guitar, piano and also works well as drum overheads.
The CL2 set is extra versatile thanks to the interchangeable omnidirectional and cardioid capsules. They're equipped with 3-micron gold-spattered diaphragms that can handle a very high sound pressure level. This makes the CL2 more than capable to produce excellent recordings of brass and percussion instruments, for instance.
Thanks to an extremely balanced linear frequency response, the CL2 pencil mics ensure a clean, defined sound. If you're recording extra-loud audio sources, no problem - they're also equipped with a high-pass filter and a -10dB switch. The high-pass or low-cut filter makes sure that low frequencies aren't picked up too heavily from instruments that are closer to the mic than others.
This luxurious set of pencil microphones as well as two mic clips comes in a rugged aluminium case. What's more, it includes two special pop filters, two windshields to reduce ambient noise, and two top-of-the-line shock mounts! To complete the set, there's also a T-Bar for stereo X/Y recordings.
In short, if you want a complete microphone tool kit for a wide variety of situations, then look no further than the Samson CL2!
