Thank you for purchasing the Samson C05 Condenser Microphone. The C05 condenser microphone brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance to vocal miking applications.

The C05 is a hand held condenser microphone that excels in both live performance and recording applications. Equipped with a linear frequency response for superior reproduction, it is also designed to withstand high sound pressure levels. Extremely sensitive, it employs a tight cardioid pattern to reduce feedback. A special shock-mounted element minimizes handling noise and provides additional protection.

Should your microphone ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) must be obtained before shipping your unit to Samson. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted. Please call Samson at 1-800-3SAMSON (1-800-372- 6766) for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain the original packing materials and if possible return the unit in the original carton and packing materials.

Features

The Samson C05 utilizes state-of-the-art microphone technology and is engineered to the finest detail. Here are some of its main features:

•Tight cardioid polar pattern minimizes feedback problems and effectively rejects signals not originating directly in front of the mic capsule.

•Extended range frequency response for optimum reproduction and exceptionally clear, crisp sound.

•Special shock-mounting allows movement of the mic element to greatly reduce handling noise.

•Rugged zinc alloy die-casting case ensures reliable performance in even the most demanding environments.

•Lightweight and compact, the C05 can be mounted on any standard microphone stand (using the included mic clip) or can be easily handheld for long periods without inducing fatigue.

•Included foam-lined impact resistant carrying case for convenience when transporting three C05 microphones from venue to venue.
