Samson Meteorite Overview

Record audio for podcasts, stream audio online, or sound good over VoIP with the Samson Meteorite, a relatively compact and stylish USB microphone that plugs directly into your computer for use right out of the box. When combined with a separately available adapter, it can even work with iOS devices.

You'll find the mic delivers a solid audio quality while minimizing effects of the room, thanks to its cardioid polar pattern. The USB cable is integrated, so no need to purchase a separate one, which you might very well lose anyway. Its integrated magnetic cradle base, combined with the USB functionality, make the mic as portable as it is useful.

Tailored for Vocals
The 14mm capsule sounds good on vocals, whether podcasting, streaming, or communicating over VoIP
Cardioid Polar Pattern & Broadcast-Quality Audio
The mic uses a cardioid polar pattern to naturally mitigate room tone, giving you a clear and focused sound. Built-in 48 kHz / 16-bit conversion gives you broadcast-quality digital audio.
Integrated Cable & Detachable Stand
As the mic has an integrated USB cable, you don't have to worry about losing any extra USB cable. A magnetic, detachable base can serve as a tabletop mic stand.
Works Right Out of the Box
The mic plugs directly into any computer with a USB input, no drivers required. It's compatible with most computer-based digital audio software as well as Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, voice recognition applications, and much more.

Samson Meteorite Reviews

Looks cool, limited functional

By Jesse

I purchased before reading reviews. My fault. If kept in proper range (close), voice quality is good. If used at improper distance (whatever you might consider normal for anything that’s not a handheld mic or boom mic is too far) you’re speaking from down a hallway. It excels at looking cool on your desk. If you happen to have a handy shelf about 2” below and 3” away from your chin then you may love this mic, otherwise it’s going to be unwieldy at best.

Nice sound- and Cool R2D2 look

Asked by: MJ
Yes. the Samson Meteorite works out of the box and only requires minimal setup to select the mic as your input device. Here is a link to the user manual with all of the details for setup and operation: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/118611.pdf

Asked by: John
While the manufacturer does not specify the length of the cable, a picture in the manual would suggest 12''-18'' estimated length.
