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.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Samson CL8a multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser mic has a custom-tuned capsule with a dual 1.1&#8243; gold-sputtered, 4-micron thick diaphragm. This design provides a range of selectable pickup patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional). Similar to the CL7a, the CL8a has a selectable, two-pole high-pass filter at 100 Hz; can handle SPLs up to 147 dB; and a 10 dB attenuation pad.<\/p>\n<p>Expected to hit retail in June, the Resound CL7a and CL8a will be available for $129.99 and $149.99, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Samson \u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsontech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.samsontech.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1943\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1582\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson.jpg 1582w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-768x243.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-1024x324.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-1536x485.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-696x220.jpg 696w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-1392x440.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-1068x338.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samson-1329x420.jpg 1329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1582px) 100vw, 1582px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas, NV (April 8, 2019)\u2014Samson is unveiling the CL7a and CL8a Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphones at NAB 2019.
