Congratulations on purchasing the Samson R11
Hyper-Cardioid Neodymium Microphone! This
professional quality dynamic mic is specially
designed for use in live performance and public
address environments where unwanted ambient
sound is occurring from many different directions.
Its hyper-cardioid pattern ensures maximum
rejection of these signals (thus minimizing feedback
problems) while delivering a strong, crisp signal
from the audio source directly in front of the mic
capsule.
In this manual, you’ll find a more detailed
description of the features of your R11 microphone,
as well as instructions for using your R11, and full
specifications. You’ll also find a warranty card
enclosed—don’t forget to fill it out and mail it in!
This will enable you to receive online technical
support and will allow us to send you updated
information about other Samson products in the
future.
SPECIAL NOTE: Should your R11 ever require
servicing, a
Return Authorization number (RA) is
necessary. Without this number, the microphone will
not be accepted. Please call Samson at
(516) 364-2244 for a Return Authorization number
prior to shipping your microphone. Please retain the
original packing material and, if possible, return the
R11 in its original carton and packing materials.
Features
The Samson R11 utilizes state-of-the-art
microphone technology. Here are some of its
main features:
• Rugged dynamic capsule enables the R11 to
be used with high sound pressure level signals
(such as drums and amplified instruments) and
ensures reliable performance in even the most
demanding environments.
• Transformless design for reduced noise and
low distortion.
• Hyper-cardioid pattern minimizes feedback
problems and effectively rejects signals not
originating directly in front of the mic capsule.
• High energy rare earth Neodymium magnet
provides 6 dB of noiseless gain.
• Full range frequency response allows natural
reproduction of all audio sources.
• Handy on-off switch for on-stage control.
• Low impedance output enables the R11 to
send strong, full bandwidth signal over long
cable runs.
• Lightweight and compact, the R11 can be
mounted on any standard microphone stand
(using the included mic clip) or can be easily
handheld for long periods without inducing
fatigue.
