The Samson C03UCW is a cost effective, multiple pattern studio condenser microphone designed for project studio applications. High-speed USB output provides direct connection to desktop and laptop computers. The C03UCW provides super-cardioid, omnidirectional and figure 8 polar patterns. Variable patterns provide the flexibility necessary to capture instrument and vocal signals in any recording scenario. Dual 19mm capsules ensure high level and low noise floor on output. Also featured is a 10dB Pad switch that provides extra headroom when capturing excessively loud audio signal, preventing peak distortion. A hi-pass (low-cut) filter switch eliminates noise caused by hum wind and low frequency ambiance.

    Comments about Samson C03UCW - Studio Microphone:

    I am a wildlife biologist and use the CO3U to record wildlife remotely (i.e. I am not present when the animal is calling). I can record wolf howls from > 1.4 km with this mic and the quality of the recording is good enough for me to use audio software and look at spectrograms where I can count the number of wolves that howled. For [$]it is just what I need.

      Comments about Samson C03UCW - Studio Microphone:

      Easy plug and play usb mic. out of the box and readily compatible with garage band right away. B&H had a great price that allowed me to get the desktop stand too. I use mine for podcasting and recording vocals.
      It would be nice if there was a power saver switch otherwise it's always on unless I pull the cord out from the back.
