Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the CM15P or CM20P podium microphone from Samson Audio! The CM15 and CM20P miniature
gooseneck microphones are 15" and 20" in overall length respectively, and the goosenecks are flexible at the top and bottom
with a mid-section stiffener for a straight profile. They feature a permanently charged condenser element with a Cardioid
(uni-directional) pick-up pattern, providing good off axis response while maintaining high feedback rejection. The CM15
and CM20 microphones are fitted with a standard 3-pin male XLR connector at their base for easy installation on standard
female XLR connectors or cables. An onboard High-pass filter, at 100Hz, is included, allowing the low frequency response to
be attenuated which helps remove background noise, stage rumble and mechanical noise, which can sometimes be trans-
mitted by the speaker at a podium. The microphones operate on standard 9 through 52 volts phantom power supply. Each
microphone includes a standard and shock-mounted flange for easy installation. A dual-stage, rippled windscreen is also
provided to greatly reduce annoying P-popping. The microphone elements are protected by rugged metal housings and the
entire microphone is finished in a low reflectance, matte black finish.

packing material and, if possible, return the CM15P and CM20P in its original carton and packing materials.
