Anyone had any experience with this mic???

No experience with it, but I have several other Samson mics and they all do a good job for what they cost. They seem to be well built and sound good. That's about all you can ask!

I'd always recommend a super-cardioid pattern for keyboard players. The best rejection node on a cardioid mic is directly in line with the mike. But most keyboard players have their monitoring off to the side. A super-cardioid pattern has it's rejection node more close to 45º off from directly in line with the mic, much closer to where your speakers are. So, better feedback rejection...

Don't forget, it needs a 48v phantom supply. So if your board or keyboard can't provide this, you might need to look elsewhere.

I found this.It's very usefull review of three mics.CL5N E965 and KSM9.Mind you, last two mics cost over $600.

Check it out.

My aging ears couldn't hear any noticeable difference in any of them.

I agree.I just got CL5N for under $100.It sounds really good with my soundcraft mixer and Prx635 speakers.Very clean in both lows and highs.I also use dbx 226 compressor on my voice.I am really impressed with this little mic.
One thing I don't understand is, on the box it says cardion pattern but on Samson page it says super cardion.it would be nice if you could chose but for this price who cares.
Like I said above Sennheizer e965 and Shure KSM9 are both in $600 range.Great mics too.

My main mic for several years has been Sennheizer 855. I have a couple of them.
I have WAY too many mics. Need to sell some!

I've been an EV N/DYM user for 20 years or so. Incredibly rugged, incredibly hot (my gain is always less than 70% of any mic plugged in), incredible feedback rejection, no phantom needed, easily replaceable if stolen...

EV always for my vocals ..N/D767a. or N/D967 love em. I never liked Samson anything.

I know I have a 767 around here somewhere, but I've gone through about 30 mics trying to find one.

Well,mics are individual and different for every voice.It doesn't matter who makes them or how much money they are.If they work on your voice they work.For example,for me worst mic I have is sm58.And some swear by it.

Diki,

I didn't know you did vocals. I know you have a great speaking voice from that one time we met. I would love to hear some of the songs you sing.

i just moved from a sennheiser 935 to a 945 with a tighter pattern- great for preventing feedback.
