An Insanely Affordable Stereo Condenser Kit!
Let's face it, if you're looking at a pair of Samson C02 small-diaphragm condenser mics, you've probably already done the math and are wondering, "how good can a couple of super-cheap condensers really be?" The answer is: they totally rock! Seriously, you can put them up against mics whose shockmounts alone cost more than a pair of C02s, and you can barely tell them apart! What's Samson's secret? Is it the ultra-sensitive, low-mass elements that give C02s super-high SPL ratings? Is it their gold-plated XLR connectors and ridiculously tight, feedback-stomping supercardioid pickup patterns? How does Samson make these affordable mics sound fantastic on everything from drum overheads to acoustic guitars and pianos? Maybe it's alien technology sent though time and space to give hope and inexpensive recording options to all of mankind. Who knows! The bottom line is that, for the money, you're not going to find a better pair of pencil-style condensers, let alone a set that comes with shockmounts, wind screens, and a custom carrying case.
