MICROPHONE

Congratulations on purchasing the Samson S12 Hyper-Cardioid Neodymium Microphone! This professional quality dynamic mic is specially designed for use in live performance and public address environments where unwanted ambient sound is occurring from many different directions. Its hyper-cardioid pattern ensures maximum rejection of these signals (thus minimizing feedback problems) while delivering a strong, crisp signal from the audio source directly in front of the mic capsule. The S12 is particularly well-suited for use with Samson wireless systems.

In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed descrip- tion of the features of your S12 microphone, as well as instructions for using your S12, and full specifica- tions. You’ll also find a warranty card enclosed— don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in! This will enable you to receive online technical support and will allow us to send you updated information about other Samson products in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE: Should your S12 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number (RA) is necessary. Without this number, the microphone will not be accepted. Please call Samson at

(516)364-2244 for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your microphone. Please retain the original packing material and, if possible, return the S12 in its original carton and packing materials.

Features

The Samson S12 utilizes state-of-the-art microphone technology. Here are some of its main features:

•Rugged dynamic capsule enables the S12 to be used with high sound pressure level signals (such as drums and amplified instruments) and ensures reliable performance in even the most demanding environments.

•High energy rare earth Neodymium magnet provides 6 dB of noiseless gain.

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

•Full range frequency response allows natural reproduction of all audio sources.

•Low impedance output enables the S12 to send strong, full bandwidth signal over long cable runs.

•Lightweight and compact, the S12 can be mounted on any standard microphone stand (using the included mic clip) or can be easily handheld for long periods without inducing fatigue.
