Samson C01UWC USB Condenser Microphone
The Samson C01UWC condenser microphone represents a breakthrough in microphone technology as the first affordable studio quality condensing microphone with a direct USB output. With this microphone Samson has given musicians who record their music directly to a computer a simple and affordable way of recording high quality vocal and acoustic instrument performances. This microphone does not require an in/out box, nor does it require expensive computer software to make use of. Simply plug the microphone into your Windows or Mac computer's USB port and you are ready to record, without the need for any additional installation, wiring or power sources. This is due to the fact that the C01UWC features a built-in analogue-to-digital converter and interface which replaces the need for a conventional analogue set up using an XLR cable.
The microphone outputs at 16-bit resolution and supports sample rates of 8, 11.025, 22.05, 44.1 and 48 kHz. The convenience and ease of use of a USB microphone is undeniable for musicians and producers who work entirely on computers as the USB connection eliminates the need for expensive after-market products such as soundcards and audio interfaces.
The built-in Windows SoftPre applet software provides added features which include remote operation of volume control, high-pass filter and phase switch. The C01UWC's hypercardiod polar pattern also reduces signal at the indirect (off-axis) sections of the microphone capsule which reduces ambient noise and provides high gain before feedback.
The C01UWC's wide range of features makes it the ideal microphone for the home-recording musician, effectively bridging the gap between mid-level USB adapters and top of the range products. The C01UWC's onboard software makes installation a breeze on Mac & PC devices, with no need for drivers to be installed or any additional downloads.
