Thank you for purchasing the Samson R21 Dynamic Microphone. The R21 dynamic
microphone brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance to vocal miking
applications.
The R21 is a hand held dynamic microphone that excels in both live performance
and recording applications. Equipped with a linear frequency response for
superior reproduction, it is also designed to withstand high sound pressure
levels. Extremely sensitive, it employs a tight cardioid pattern to reduce feedback.
A special shock-mounted element minimizes handling noise and provides
additional protection.
Should your microphone ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number
(RA) must be obtained before shipping your unit to Samson. Without this number,
the unit will not be accepted. Please call Samson at 1-800-3SAMSON (1-800-372-
6766) for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain
the original packing materials and if possible return the unit in the original carton
and packing materials
Features
The Samson R21 utilizes state-of-the-art microphone technology and is
engineered to the finest detail. Here are some of its main features:
• Tight cardioid polar pattern minimizes feedback problems and effectively
rejects signals not originating directly in front of the mic capsule.
• Extended range frequency response for optimum reproduction and
exceptionally clear, crisp sound.
• Special shock-mounting allows movement of the mic element to greatly
reduce handling noise.
• Rugged zinc alloy die-casting case ensures reliable performance in even the
most demanding environments.
• Lightweight and compact, the R21 can be mounted on any standard
microphone stand (using the included mic clip) or can be easily handheld
for long periods without inducing fatigue.
• Included foam-lined impact resistant carrying case for convenience when
transporting three R21 microphones from venue to venue.
