A USB Mic and Software Package That's Ready Right out of the Box

The Samson Q1U USB dynamic microphone features a smooth-sounding neodymium element capable of handling high SPLs, cleverly interfaced to an onboard, high-quality microphone preamp leading to an analog-to-digital converter and USB output. The Q1U is a great-sounding dynamic mic that you can record directly into your laptop (or desktop) computer without the need for an external mic pre or audio interface - just plug in one simple USB cable and record. Cakewalk software is also included.

Cakewalk's Music Creator software gives you the tools, instruments, and effects you need to create, record, edit, and mix your audio and MIDI projects in one integrated software solution. It's a perfect way to get started with the Samson Q1U.

Samson Q1U Features:
  • Dynamic handheld microphone with USB interface
  • Plugs in directly to any computer with USB
  • Compatible with any computer based Digital Audio Workstation
  • High quality A/D converter with 16-Bit, 48kHz sampling rate
  • Super-cardioid pick-up pattern
  • 3m / 9.84' USB Cable
  • Includes Cakewalk Music Creator software
  • Tripod desk stand included

The Samson Q1 USB mic and Cakewalk software make a great recording team!

Was actually intending to write about Sweetwater's service, absolutely 100%!! Will not hesitate to shop again, and have already recommended to others.

Thanks Sweetwater;

The Q1U recommended by Mike Herberts gives amazing fidelity for the price. The mike-software combo should exceed my audio recording needs for many years. Yahweh bless.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
