Samsom S11 - May You Rest In Peace

Samson Audio has retired their S11 microphone. As many of you know, we have been using the S11 as our primary rental vocal microphone for years now and we have sold well over 1,000 of them. As one of our clients proclaimed, it was the "best cheap microphone I've ever owned." In a sea of inexpensive microphones it served us well. It didn't have great high or low frequency response and it didn't win any awards but not every situation calls for an expensive solution. It had decent handling noise and worked great in the wind without a wind screen, was built well and had the best mic clip around.

But never fear we are on a quest for it's replacement and we are narrowing down the field, so stay tuned for next "best cheap microphone I've ever owned."
