Samson C02 | Matched Pair Pencil Condenser Microphones (Stereo Set)
The Samson C02 Pencil Condenser Microphones are a matched stereo pair designed for musicians, engineers, and creators who need to capture sound with precision, detail, and depth.
Ideal for acoustic instruments, drum overheads, ensembles, and location recording, the C02s offer accurate, natural reproduction with a crisp top end and tight low response.
Capture Every Note with Precision
Each C02 features a small-diaphragm condenser capsule with a tight cardioid pickup pattern, allowing it to capture direct sound sources while minimizing room ambience and feedback.
The low-mass diaphragm ensures a flat frequency response (40Hz–20kHz) and excellent transient detail, making these mics perfect for guitar, piano, strings, or cymbals.
Capable of handling up to 134dB SPL, the C02s perform equally well on loud sources such as drum kits or brass instruments — without distortion or loss of clarity.
Matched for Stereo Accuracy
Packaged as a matched pair, the C02 microphones are factory-calibrated to within ±0.5dB sensitivity, ensuring perfectly balanced stereo imaging.
This makes them ideal for XY, ORTF, or spaced pair recording setups, delivering phase-coherent and natural stereo capture — perfect for recording ensembles, choirs, or live ambient soundscapes.
Built to Perform Anywhere
Each mic is housed in a rugged metal body with gold-plated XLR connectors for noise-free signal transfer and maximum durability.
The set includes shock-mounted mic clips, foam windscreens, and a protective carry case — ensuring your microphones are ready for studio, stage, or field recording.
