Ideal for vocal performance, Karaoke, public
speaking and DJ applications, the new R11 is an
affordable dynamic mic offering professional per-
formance and quality at every level. The R11 fea-
tures a hypercardioid polar pattern for maximum
feedback rejection and a neodymium magnet for
the higher output required in today’s live perfor-
mance applications. Its transformerless design with
a low impedance voice coil produces and expand-
ed low frequency response. The R11 also includes
a handy on/off switch and a metal die cast case
with steel mesh windscreen for ruggedness and
long life.

ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S
SPECIFICATION
The microphone shall be of a dynamic
type with hypercardioid polar pattern. The
microphone shall provide its output on a male
XLR-type connector. Output impedance shall
be 600 ohms.
The microphone shall be constructed of a
zinc casing and shall contain a triple-plated
multi-stage windscreen and noise filter for the
removal of pops, sibilance and onstage noise,
an aluminum humbucking voice coil for the
elimination of magnetic field interference and
true hum rejection, a Neoprene transformer
cover for the reduction of microphonics, a
high-output Neodymium element, and a multi-
axis shock-mount to minimize handling noise.
The microphone shall be equipped with
an On/Off switch. The microphone shall have
frequency response from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, sen-
sitivity of -71 dBV at 94 dB SPL, and a maxi-
mum SPL of 137 dB. Dimensions shall be 1.8″
(46 mm) head length, 4.2″(107 mm) main
unit length and 6″(152 mm) total length.
Weight shall be 10.5 oz. (300 g). The micro-
phone shall carry a three-year warranty.
The microphone shall be a SAMSON R11.
