Product Information
The Samson C03U is a studio-quality condenser, primed to sync up to any laptop, desktop, or mobile recording setup in your home or in a professional setting. In fact, its all-silver exterior looks as professional as possible as the Samson name remains as a prominent feature on the exterior housing. Below the Samson logo is a green LED light that tells you when the condenser microphone has gone live. You'll also see two switches that flank the light, which are easy to adjust when you're ready to record. These metal, toggle switches are attractive as you move them toward the function that you desire.This condenser design is ideal for harnessing vocals or any acoustic instrument because of its bi-directional configuration. The C03U microphones actually capture two voices or similar audio inputs so that each one sounds as if it has its own dedicated, studio microphone. In addition, these Samson condenser microphones also have switchable Omni, cardioid, and figure-8 pickup patterns. These multi-pattern features combine to make this a popular choice for home-recording artists and professionals alike. As a result of the high-pass filter hidden in these accessories, you also have the option of capturing ambient room sounds. This microphone, which has a -10dB pad, assures clear, colorless capture for high-quality audio results every time.The C03 unit has a compact, 7-inch length so that it can be placed in almost any professional situation. You can record electric guitars, bass, and other instruments while the narrow, 2.125-inch wide C03U product captures the musical magic. It can be attached to a mic stand or other gear that supports the 16.96-ounce weight.This studio accessory is also designed for use with a computer, such as a PC or Apple running Mac OS. Take a look at the base of the C03U unit, and you'll find it has a connector for a USB cable. Its USB connectivity makes this a flexible choice for a variety of playback situations, including video projects, home recording, podcasting, and online broadcasts. There's no complicated setup either because the USB creates a plug-and-play connection. Your computer will be instantly connected to the gear so that any sounds are quickly documented and ready for playback.The cable that's designed for this particular unit is about 10-feet long, which makes the mic's placement very easy in unique situations. Gather several musicians around the product, and the dual 19-millimeter internal shock-mounted diaphragms will perform great regardless of the situation. With frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 18 kHz, this mic picks out even the subtlest detailing in vocal performance and dialogue. In addition, there's a 44.1 to 48kHz sampling rate that's also embedded in this USB-enabled product.
