by WF WHITE from Easton, PA, USA
I purchased the Samson CO1U for use in Podcasting and it has exceeded my expectations. I just plug the USB cable into my laptop computer and I am ready to record. The quality of the sound is more than... read more [+] adequate for me. No mixer is required with this microphone either. I also purchased a mini boom stand,[OnStage], and the shock mount [SP01] that goes with the Samson microphone.[I removed the European adaptor with a screwdriver] I purchased all of these items from Sweetwater, and I am more than happy with their no nonsense approach to their business. Thank You, Sweetwater. close [-]
December 20, 2007 Music Background: Podcaster Good Starter. XLR mic maybe better
by Victor from Amherst, Ohio
I bought the C01 two years ago for around $65. For having NO experience recording, it really was simple. I use audacity on windows Xp and this mic to record the high school's marching band and a frien... read more [+]ds band.
January 21, 2009 Music Background: High school student recording concert band, rock band, and various video projects. I also dub over camcorder footage because I find the sound superior to the built in microphones. I now find this mic impractical for larger needs and will invest in the mdr1064 mixer soon. If you have the money buy the G-track because it has an analog out eliminating computer latency during monitoring. The mic has noticeable noise on quiet sounds. I have tried using a sm57 and find this condenser to sound better. The only downside of this mic is that it has a analog digital converter of only 16 bits and 48khz. A computer sound card can do MUCH better for only a little more. Overall I trust Samson as a cheap quality brand and will buy more. Just for the information USB cables have a maximum length of 16 feet without powered extenders. This is also a reason why I will be investing in a pair of XLR mics for stereo use. close [-] CO1U Review
