General

A microphone can usually only be optimised for one particular kind of application. Vocal microphones need to ensure a clear and accurate sound, whereas instrument microphone need to be able to process low frequencies and extremely high volumes. Samson have found a middle way: the high-quality CS microphone is a handheld with two capsules between which you can alternate. The round CS 1 head is fit for vocals, while the flatter CS 2 is perfect for instruments. This is a practical and affordable solution for sound engineers that need to amplify various different kinds of situations.

Two capsules of the CS

The neodymium capsules of the CS both have a super-cardioid pickup pattern, which means that the microphone is mainly sensitive at the front so that feedback is a thing of the past! As the CS1 focuses on live recordings of vocals, it produces a very clear sound that excludes handling noise. The CS2 is optimised for instruments with a high SPL, like guitar amplifiers, brass instruments and drums. Even at high volumes the sound won't distort and the CS2 capsule isolates your desired sound source from other sources. All in all, the CS microphone combines two professional microphones in one unit - unscrew, substitute and you are good to go!

Wrote the following about Samson CS Series microphone with two capsules
Deze microfoon was voor mij een grote verassing. Voor iedereen die zoekt naar een budget microfoon, deze moet je hebben. Het feit dat je 2 capsules hebt is al een zeer aangenaam concept. En de klank doet er niet voor onder. Ik denk dat deze microfoon(s) de beste zijn wat betreft prijs/kwaliteit verhouding

Als drummer doe ik soms backing vocals in mijn band. Daarvoor is de CS1-capsule fenomenaal! Wat een geluid! Hiernaast heb je nog het handige feit dat je meteen naar de CS2 kunt switchen. Deze capsule biedt immers een heel erg zuiver snare-geluid bij opnames. Twee vliegen in één klap! Alles is proper te vervoeren in een verstevigd doosje/hoesje met uitgesneden vakken voor elke onderdeel. Ook de bijgeleverde microfoonclip voelt robuust aan en houdt de iets dikkere microfoonbasis goed vast! Samson did it again! Een heel erg mooie prijs voor een product dat ik nog jaren met veel plezier zal gebruiken!
