Samson CL7a is the perfect large-capsule condenser solution for the home, project, or professional studio. Featuring a 1.1 gold-sputtered capsule with an ultra-thin 3-micron diaphragm, the CL7a delivers a smooth and balanced sound. Use the CL7a for capturing an expressive vocalist, and when preserving the presence and tonality of an acoustic instrument. Activating the high-pass filter reduces rumble and wind noise, and a 10dB pad prevents signal overloads. The cardioid pickup pattern provides enhanced isolation by rejecting off-axis sounds from other instrument sources. Inside the die-cast body, an internal shock-mount system insulates the capsule from mechanical noises.
