A Microphone Designed for Speech, at the Heart of a Sound System
In a conference context, the priority is not the "studio effect," but clarity, stability, and consistent intelligibility from one speaker to another. This microphone fits this logic: it naturally integrates into a standard audio chain (XLR mic input, phantom power, mixing, amplification) and aims to deliver reliable voice reproduction, suitable for rooms, auditoriums, places of worship, town halls, businesses, and events.
Its stated frequency response of 60Hz to 16kHz covers the essential spectrum for speech, with sufficient extension in the high frequencies to preserve articulation, while limiting the emphasis on very low frequencies that often bring more noise than useful content on a podium.
Who Is This Conference Microphone For and What Are Its Uses?
This model is intended for all situations where one wants to highlight the voice without complicating the setup: podium speeches, meeting interventions, assembly talks, conferences, presentations, ceremonies, or training sessions. The cardioid directionality helps better isolate the speaker from side or rear sources (room sound system, audience, ventilation), contributing to clearer listening and generally providing a more comfortable gain before feedback than an omnidirectional pattern.
For sound engineers and service providers, the presence of an XLR connector simplifies compatibility: standard mic cable, stage patch, wall box, stagebox, analog or digital console. For users, the included windscreen improves handling of plosives and breath noises, making speech more consistent even when the mouth-to-mic distance varies slightly.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Samson CM 15 P require phantom power?
Phantom power from 9 to 52 V is necessary for the operation of this electret condenser microphone. It can be supplied by a mixer, a microphone preamp, or a compatible interface via XLR.
Does a cardioid podium microphone help reduce feedback?
The cardioid polar pattern favors sound coming from the front of the microphone and attenuates sources from the sides and rear. This setup reduces room and audience sound pickup. The gain before feedback can thus be more comfortable during podium speaking.
Is a low-cut filter integrated?
A 12 dB/octave high-pass filter at 100 Hz reduces hum and vibrations transmitted through the mount.
Is a windscreen included with this conference microphone?
A windscreen is included. It helps reduce plosives and breath noises during speeches, especially when speaking distance varies slightly.
What is the frequency response of the microphone?
Its frequency response ranges from 60 Hz to 16 kHz. This range covers the useful speech spectrum and preserves clarity in the high frequencies.
