Samson C01U Condenser mic (USB only)

I just got this new mic! Samson's new condenser mic is USB direct to the computer. It's powered by the USB cable (5V instead of 48). The digital converter is only an inch from the diaphragm! Zero signal loss.. etc. I just got the second one out the door, we've been waiting for months. For home studio recording this thing is the answer to everyone's prayers.

This mic is phenomenal. Flat response crystal clear... more gain than you can handle. At half volume it redlines over the top... GREAT.

The downside is: you have to turn on your soundcard volume control, but not the soundcard. (This applies only to people running external audio cards and turned the sound card off.)

Anyone who is struggling with poor gain, background hissing, too many cables, power supplies, wall warts, preamps for condensor mics, mixing boards, and Sure mics (heh), microphone batteries. This thing was only $80! Unbelievable..

Samson has a C01 on the website but not the C01U (USB) yet.

I do not represent any commercial interest in any musical product what so ever, just a consumer. Anyone who's about to spend money on the condesor mic routine, should check this out.

Be sure and get the basket too, the bottom of the mic needs the Samson basket.

..been at it for 30+ years..
