Introduction 3 Congratulations on your purchase of the Samson CL7 studio condenser . The CL7 features a large, 1.1-inch, ultra thin diaphragm capsule which faithfully reproduces a variety of sound sources including vocals, acoustic instruments and overhead cymbals, to name a few .
Opera ting the CL7 4 Po we ring the CL7 The CL7 is a condenser microphone and therefore needs to be operated by connecting a phantom power supply . Phantom power is standard on most quali- ty mixers, outboard mic-pres and hard disk recorders. If necessary , an external phantom supply can also be used.
Opera ting the CL7 U sing the Hi-P ass Filter The CL7 offers a user selectable hi- pass, (or low-cut filter), which you can use to eliminate any unwanted low fre- quency reproduction. When the Hi- pass Filter is set to the “flat” (indicated by the straight line) position, there is no effect on the signal.
M icrophone Placement In order to maximize the sound quality , you must pay careful attention to the placement of your CL7 and how it is positioned for the instrument or vocalist that you are miking. All microphones, especially uni-directional or cardioid microphones, exhibit a phenomenon known as “proximity effect.
