Samson CO1U USB Condenser Microphone description:
The Samson C01U condenser microphone is an inexpensive solution for musicians who want to record to computers without expensive hardware interfaces or preamplifiers. The CO1U features a USB (Universal Serial Bus) output for direct connection to a Mac or Windows based computer for a clean, direct digital connection without noise. The C01U has a design based on the C01 large diaphragm condenser microphone and features the same element.
The microphone features a large 19mm diaphragm at the heart of the capsule resulting in high sensitivity and flat frequency response. A cardioid pick up pattern ensures pristine studio quality recordings. The output stage features a gold plated XLR output for added sensitivity response and greater signal to noise ratio.
The C01U works perfectly on any computer, Mac or PC, and with any DAW software program. It immediately solves a huge problem for users of many laptops, many of which have no other input method for audio devices.
It’s a must for any musician on the road or in the project studio, but the C01U is going to offer solutions to more than just musicians. The mic opens up possibilities for anyone who records audio—from Podcasters, journalists, students, and business people adding audio files to websites and multimedia presentations.
