Samar MG32 End-Address Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Samar Audio Design MG32 is an end-address small diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones featuring low noise, smooth and very balanced response, low distortion, and excellent low and high-end extension. It is an ideal solution for demanding professional engineers, studios, artists, as well as home recording enthusiasts, to make the highest quality recordings, especially in environments where the compact size of the microphone is of the essence. The MG32 is built at the company’s Salt Lake City-based shop.

The MG32 was designed by the company’s founder Dr. Mark Fouxman. As with any Samar microphone, extraordinary attention was put into the shape of the body and its acoustical properties. An unusual, innovative, and optimized acoustical lens eliminates standing waves, reflections, and wave interference, and allows for minimal phase distortion anomalies along with excellent off-axis response. The MG32 uses the same capsule as the highly acclaimed MG20. For low distortion, the highest possible sonics, sound quality, and years of dependability, the MG32 employs the highest quality electronic parts, such as SMD Vishay-Dale resistors and through-hole Wima capacitors in the signal chain.

The MG32's balanced, neutral sound, along with the excellent low-end response, and the non-harsh sonic nature on the high end, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as pop, jazz, and classical piano, string instruments, brass instruments, acoustic guitars, drum overheads, percussions, room microphones, orchestra, and choir among other recording, broadcast, and classical music applications.

The MG32 is especially suitable for environments where compact size is important. It is perfect for live sound reinforcement, concert recordings, drum and percussion sessions, and any place where a small unobtrusive footprint is needed.
