Product Description

The C02 is a pencil style condenser microphone that excels in both live performance and recording applications. Equipped with a liner 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 mic holder is included to minimize noise and provide additional protection.

Features:

- Extended range frequency response for optimum reproduction and exceptionally clear, crisp sound with great transient response
- Ultra-sensitive, low mass element picks up all of the nuances of any performance
- Tight cardioid polar pattern minimizes feedback problems and effectively rejects signals not originating directly in front of the mic capsule
- Withstands high SPLs, lending itself to a wide range of miking situations
- Special shock-mounted mic holder is included to minimize noise and provide additional protection
- Rugged brass case ensures reliable performance in even the most demanding environments
- The included foam wind screen can be fitted to greatly reduce wind noise when used in an outdoor environment, for reducing 'P Popping in vocal applications
- Lightweight and compact, the C02 can be mounted on any standard microphone stand using the included shock-mount mic clip
- Included foam-lined impact resistant carrying case for convince when transporting three C02 microphones from venue to venue
- Gold plated XLR connector

"lotta mic for the money"
Sound: I use these as overheads in my drum booth at church / @ the hi hats and ride cymbals. They also pick up my crashes. These teamed with a sure sm57/beta52 drum mic pack are giving us phenomenal sound. The CO'2s are very articulate, and pick up well. A little EQ'ing on the mixer board for taste, and I like them a lot. I rate them a ten for the price. These do their job well. Feature: Semi sturdy feel. I would want a heavier duty Sure or Audix Condenser setup for full time travel/play/gigging.........I play in one place every week and they stay set up...perfect for me.....10 for the money Ease of Use: plug and play........10 for the money Quality: works for me.... Value: 10 for the money Manufacturer Support: I thought one was bad but it was an old cable i was using. I emailed sampson. They did respond. They told me they would replace it if they found it to be defective. I am ok w/ the way the handled business..but it truly wasnt the warmth of Gretsch supportor yamaha support that i have gotten...i give them a 7 for seeming to be a little cold. The Wow Factor: it sounds GREAT in a drum application.if you can make hihats sound good then these will reproduce it well Overall: 10 for the money...at this price buy a pair if your not gonna beat em up too bad on the road...put your savings into your instrument, these will mic it well in a live setup.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Value"
Sound: Use it for live vocals in groups of 1-16 people. Always satisfied. Feature: Shock mount is just adequate but better than none at all. Quality: Bought it on spec - if it was not good I would not have lost much money. Have been delighted with quality, construction, sound etc. Manufacturer Support: Never had to use it, but email I sent asking for tech info never received a response. The Wow Factor: Sex appeal? It's a pencil mic. You want sex appeal in a mic - get a Shure 556. Overall: Would buy the same again in a heartbeat if these went missing.
Style of Music: a capella & small group vocals

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
