Samson vC01 - Large-diaphragm hypercardioid condenser microphone for vocals and acoustic instruments
The Samson vC01 is a large-diaphragm (19 mm, double-layer) condenser microphone with a hypercardioid pattern that focuses pickup on the source and reduces off-axis sound, achieving greater feedback control and cleaner separation in the studio or on stage. Its smooth, flat 40 Hz–18 kHz response is ideal for vocals (male and female) , guitars, and other acoustic instruments. It features a 48 V phantom power LED , a heavy-duty metal body and grille, and a gold-plated XLR connector to ensure a reliable connection. It is supplied with a tilting shockmount and a threaded adapter for microphone stands. The SP01 shockmount is optional (not included).
