The C01U USB Studio Condenser Microphone from Samson allows you to make high-quality audio recordings to your computer without the need of any additional gear or cabling. The C01U is USB compatible with any Mac or PC, as well as most DAW software programs, including GarageBand. It comes with Cakewalk's Sonar LE digital audio workstation software so you can get started recording right away.
The C01U's large, 19mm shock-mounted diaphragm with hypercardioid pickup pattern provides a smooth, flat frequency response. Capturing audio at 16-bit and up to a 48 kHz sampling rate, the C01U offers accurate, high-quality audio reproduction. The mic comes with a desktop mic stand, mic clip, USB cable and carry pouch.
The C01U Pro is the ideal solution for musicians, producers, broadcasters, as well as recording audio for YouTube videos, voiceovers and podcasts. A large, 19mm diaphragm captures all the nuances of your voice, making the C01U PRO ideal for hip-hop/rap artists, singer-songwriters and ADR (automated dialogue replacement) work with video editing suites. In addition, the mic element is shock-mounted within a solid die-cast metal construction to minimize unwanted handling noise/vibrations on your recordings.
Capturing audio at a 16-bit 44.1/48 kHz resolution with a smooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz–18kHz, the C01U Pro ensures the authentic projection of both high and low frequencies to your favorite DAW or recording app. In addition, Samson maintains its longstanding commitment to user convenience with plug-and-play operation (no driver installation necessary), USB power via Mac, PC or iPad (cable included), as well as an included tripod stand and swivel mount for optimal desktop placement. CO1U Pro even works with iPads and iPhones (4S and later) using Apple's Lightning USB Camera Adapter for those seeking to achieve pro-level sound on-the-go.
