Samson CO2 Pencil Condenser Microphone

Samson CO2 Pencil Condenser Microphone


I purchased a pair of Samson CO2 pencil condenser microphones sometime around 2005 or so.  They have been reliable as far as I can tell.  I've used them as XY format overhead microphones for recording drum symbols, but I have also just recently begun to use this microphone for recording ukulele and acoustic guitar.  

Here is a cover song I recorded wherein the ukulele and acoustic guitar were recorded using the Samson CO2 condenser microphone.  




I included a photo of how I setup the recording of my uke directly in front of the sound hole but at about a 45-degree angle to the sound hole (facing the fret board).
