Samson SAMBA38 Reviews

Works great, it's my second one

I have two of these now. Had the first for 3 years and that mic gets pulled in and out up and down every day multiple times a day and it's still like new, not gotten sloppy at all.

If only the mount didn't break.

This seemed pretty solid, and the mounts clicked under the fingernails like metal, so I was happy there wasn't a bunch of cheap plastic that would fail. At least, until I moved it to my new studio desk... now I'm down and out over Labor Day weekend... Anyway, looking at the pic, you can see the granularity of the cheap casting - a properly formed metal would've sheered, and would be flatter and shiny if it was stressed beyond it's capability. The price reflects this, and this is, of course, a typical example of you get what you pay for...

Is it possible to mount/suspend this arm from above?

Asked by: Mark

The MBA38 is not intended to suspend from above. It does come with two types of mounts -- a clamp style mount and permanent flange mount. The stem for the arm inserts into the mount from the top. You could attach the clamp mount to a shelf and then position the arm so the mic comes downward, but the arm can not be mounted upside down.
