SAMSON C01U PRO Studio Condenser Microphone

SAMSON C01U Pro USB Studio Condenser Microphone

Samson C01U Pro is an improved version of the original C01U microphone, designed for musicians, producers, and content creators looking for studio-quality sound without complex setups. The microphone features a large 19mm diaphragm mounted on an internal shock-mount, which perfectly reproduces both subtle vocal nuances and low frequencies, while the metal body ensures durability.

The key improvement of the "Pro" version is the 3.5mm headphone output, allowing real-time, zero-latency monitoring of the recorded sound. This is crucial for vocalists and voiceover artists. The microphone boasts a Supercardioid polar pattern, which isolates the main sound source and suppresses ambient noise even better than standard cardioid microphones.

The C01U Pro works on a "Plug-and-play" principle (driver-free) with Mac and PC computers, and is also compatible with iPad and iPhone (4S and newer) using an "Apple Lightning USB Camera Adapter."
