The World's First USB Handheld Dynamic Microphone

Samson went from a back room in a music store in Orange County CA to a world leader in music technology by one simple idea. Produce high-quality equipment at a price that anyone can afford. Samson also holds a number of "firsts" in the industry such as the incorporation of dbx Noise Reduction and wireless systems that don't require belt packs, plus the introduction of USB condenser microphones, which provide a super easy way to record into a laptop or desktop without the need for an audio interface. Now they've racked up another with the first professional USB dynamic mic, the Samson Q1U.

The Samson Q1U 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 result is a great-sounding dynamic mic that you can record directly into your laptop (or desktop) without the need for an external mic pre or audio interface. Just plug in one simple USB cable and record.

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
  • Tripod desk stand included
Just plug a USB Samson Q1U into your computer, hit record and sing!
