Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Shock-mounted mic element reduces handling noise and vibrations during use
- Cardioid pickup pattern effectively rejects off-axis sound and feedback
- Includes XLR to 1/4-inch cable and mic clip, eliminating the need for separate purchases
- Low impedance design allows for longer cable runs without signal degradation
👎 Cons
- 80Hz to 12kHz frequency response is narrower than many competing dynamic microphones
- Renewed condition means the unit may have minor cosmetic imperfections
- The included cable uses a 1/4-inch connector rather than XLR-to-XLR, limiting compatibility with some interfaces
- Sound quality may lack the detail and presence needed for professional studio recording
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the Samson R21S?
The R21S comes with an XLR to 1/4-inch mic cable and a mic clip, so you have the basic accessories needed to connect and mount the microphone right out of the box.
What does "Renewed" mean for this microphone?
A renewed product has been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition by a qualified supplier. It may show minor cosmetic signs of use but is expected to function like new.
What pickup pattern does the R21S use?
The R21S uses a cardioid pickup pattern, which captures sound primarily from the front of the microphone while reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This helps minimize background noise and feedback.
What is the frequency response of the Samson R21S?
The R21S has a frequency response range of 80Hz to 12kHz, which covers the fundamental vocal range and is well suited for speech and basic vocal applications.
Does the R21S require phantom power?
No. As a dynamic microphone, the R21S does not require phantom power and can be plugged directly into any mixer, audio interface, or PA system with an XLR or 1/4-inch input.
