Samson DE60x Reviews

Doesn't Dissappoint

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-06-28

First obvious observation was it wasn't as thick (thankfully) in diameter as it appears in the photo. It's very lightweight but strong. Audio is clean and natural sounding. It's a bit of a task replacing back in the case but not unexpected by it's style. (Better to have the shape preserved). Excellent feedback rejection. (5 Stars to B&H Support helping in it's selection).

Great Headset

Nice headset that works great and at a reasonable price point. Must be popular. It is on backorder when we tried to order more.

See any errors on this page?

Would this work with a DR-10L or any 3.5mm input ...

Would this work with a DR-10L or any 3.5mm input on something like a mirrorless camera or iPhone (with connector)?
Asked by: Matthew
Yes, the Samson DE60x Unidirectional Miniature Headset Microphone for Wireless Transmitters comes with four cables with different connectors to enable compatibility with different bodypack transmitters and devices. One of the cables has a 3.5mm TRS male connector which is compatible for use with the TASCAM DR-10L Micro Portable Audio Recorder, will not work with a non-locking 3.5mm mic input like the one on a mirrorless camera. However, the locking 3.5mm connector can be used with an XLR male adapter such as the Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP) and then connected to a device like the IK Multimedia iRig Pre 2 Ultracompact XLR Microphone Interface (B&H # IKPIRIGPRE2I), or the Comica Audio LinkFlex AD2 Single-Channel Mic and Guitar Interface for Smartphones and Cameras (B&H # COLNKFLEXAD2), or the Comica Audio LINKFLEX AD3 Dual-Channel Audio Mixer for Camera and Smartphone (B&H # COLINKFLXAD3). You will need to turn on the phantom power (48V) on the mic preamps to power the mic. The VXLR+ adapter provides a built-in phantom power converter that converts phantom power to plug-in power in order to provide the correct amount of voltage for the mic. The 3.5mm TRRS connector on the preamp's attached cable can connect to the camera's mic input or to connect to the iPhone, you can attach the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APLAADAP) to the 3.5mm TRRS male connector.
