Samson C03U Multi Pattern USB Condenser Microphone

SAMSON C03U MULTI PATTERN USB STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE

Following the success of the C01U, Samson presents the C03U multi-pattern USB studio condenser microphone.

Based on the extremely popular C03 studio condenser microphone, the C03U delivers pristine audio quality with enhanced capabilities, most notably a USB interface. The C03U also features dual 19mm internal shockmounted diaphragms with high SPL neodymium elements and switchable omnidirectional, supercardioid and bi-directional (figure-8) pickup patterns. Each of these patterns provide a smooth, flat frequency response supported by a switchable high-pass filter and -10 dB pad. Capturing audio at 16-bit resolution up to a 48kHz sampling rate, the C03U offers the accuracy you need to be sure that what you hear is what you get. The C03U comes with Cakewalk's Sonar LE digital audio workstation software. No additional drivers or special software is needed. In addition, a desktop mic stand, mic clip, USB cable and carry pouch are included. All this, along with its solid die-cast construction, makes the C03U just as durable as it is portable.

The C03U is essential for any level of musician, but its versatility can be applied to create audio solutions for anyone who records audio, particularly podcasters, educators, and business professionals.Music from the Home/Mobile Studio

For musicians, the convergence of computer and audio technologies has established the home/mobile studio as an alternative to the professional recording facility. Whether you’re touring the country or experimenting in your project studio, the C03U sets the standard for integrating your computer into your recording experience. Use the super-cardioid pickup pattern to record a single vocalist/instrumentalist or the omnidirectional configuration to harness an entire ensemble with ambient room miking at a pro-level directly to your computer. The C03U is perfect for recording music on-the-go or in limited spaces, allowing all musicians tremendous freedom to create.

Empowering Podcasters

The evolution of podcasting has created a need for high-quality production capabilities that are also attainable by everyone. Satisfying these criteria, the C03U is a podcaster's dream come true. Given a simple USB connection straight into your computer, it provides your podcasts with unparalleled quality in audio recording. With the C03Uís multi-pattern pickup abilities, the voices of individual web journalists (super-cardioid), as well as discussion groups (omnidirectional) and interviewers (bi-directional), everywhere are empowered to establish a real identity in the congested world of podcasting.

Multi-Faceted Education

With computer-based technology becoming more steadily incorporated into educational protocols, useful functions for the C03U among students, professors and administrators are also on the rise. In addition to podcasting, the C03U can expand the educational applications for Skype, VoIP, screen capture software like Camtasia Studio and voice recognition software like Dragon Naturally Speaking. These applications, all of which can be used to teach, study or catalogue academic materials, are made easy with the superior degree of audio recording delivered by the C03U. So, whether you’re teaching an online course, reviewing a past lecture or studying for a big exam across multiple computers, the C03U helps to make education a more accessible and interactive experience.

Added Extras

Samson offers a collection of pro-level accessories (all sold separately) that can be used to further enhance the recording experience of the C03U, including the PS01 microphone pop filter and the SP01 spider mount. The PS01ís nylon mesh screen will reduce vocal popping and sibilance from affecting the performance of your C03U.
