Las Vegas, NV (April 8, 2019)—Samson is unveiling the CL7a and CL8a Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphones at NAB 2019. The CL7a is a large diaphragm condenser mic with a capsule sporting a 1.1" 3-micron thick, gold-sputtered diaphragm that intended to provide a balanced sound built around a smooth midrange and slight high-frequency lift around 15 kHz, ideally imparting a sense of air around the sound source. Samson Unveils Stage 412 Wireless Mic System The mic features a cardioid pickup pattern, along with a selectable two-pole high-pass filter at 100 Hz to remove unwanted low frequency content like stage rumble and wind noise. Additionally, the CL7a can handle SPLs of up to 147 dB, and includes a 10 dB attenuation pad, which is used to prevent overloading the onboard preamplifier by lowering the input sensitivity of the microphone preamp circuit. Inside the durable die-cast body, an internal shock-mount provides both protection for capsule and isolation from vibration noise.
