Features

USB Studio Microphone: The Meteor Mic by Samson is a USB studio microphone for recording music and audio on your computer (Windows or Mac). Perfect for your home studio, Meteor Mic is also ideal for Skype, iChat or voice recognition software. Its cardioid pickup pattern, smooth frequency response and 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz resolution give you professional audio results no matter what you're recording.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern + 25mm Condenser Diaphragm: Its cardioid pickup pattern captures pristine vocals or can be used to close-mic an instrument or guitar amplifier. Producing rich audio recording for almost any application, the Meteor Mic has one of the largest condenser diaphragms 1" (25mm) of any USB mic available.

CD Quality Sound + Extended Frequency Range: With a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz and a resolution of 16-bit, 44.1kHz, you can be sure you're getting professional audio, CD-quality sound and recording. Thanks to its extended frequency and fast transient response, the Meteor Mic reproduces any performance with incredible accuracy and clarity.

USB Interface (Windows & Mac Compatible): The Samson Meteor Mic is compatible with most computer-based digital audio workstations (DAW) for Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OSX. Plus, since there's no need for drivers, you can start recording right out of the box on many computers. Simply use the included 7' USB cable to connect between the Meteor Mic's miniUSB (type-B) port and a free USB (type-A) port on your computer or laptop.

Samson Sound Deck Software: Available as a paid download, the Samson Sound Deck Noise Cancellation Software brings noise cancellation technology for enhanced VoIP communication and computer recording to the Go Mic. Sound Deck uses Digital Noise Reduction algorithms to minimize recurring background noise from loud environments, ensuring only clean, natural sounding vocals are received by your family, friends or business associates. The Sound Deck software is available for Mac OSX and Windows.
