Samson C01U Pro USB Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

The New Studio Pro.

In 2005, Samson introduced the world’s first USB studio condenser microphone, the C01U. Today, we're expanding on its revolutionary design with the new C01U Pro. Now with a headphone output for zero-latency monitoring and an improved signal-to-noise ratio, the C01U Pro ensures the natural warmth and detail of vocal and instrumental performances are captured in all your digital recordings.

The C01U Pro is the ideal solution for musicians, producers, broadcasters, as well as recording audio for YouTube videos, voiceovers and podcasts. A large, 19mm diaphragm captures all the nuances of your voice, making the C01U PRO ideal for hip-hop/rap artists, singer-songwriters and ADR (automated dialogue replacement) work with video editing suites. In addition, the mic element is shock-mounted within a solid die-cast metal construction to minimize unwanted handling noise/vibrations on your recordings.

Capturing audio at a 16-bit 44.1/48 kHz resolution with a smooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz–18kHz, the C01U Pro ensures the authentic projection of both high and low frequencies to your favorite DAW or recording app. In addition, Samson maintains its longstanding commitment to user convenience with plug-and-play operation (no driver installation necessary), USB power via Mac, PC or iPad (cable included), as well as an included tripod stand and swivel mount for optimal desktop placement. CO1U Pro even works with iPads and iPhones (4S and later) using Apple's Lightning USB Camera Adapter for those seeking to achieve pro-level sound on-the-go.

No matter how you’re communicating, it’s important to have a microphone that captures every detail. The Samson C01U Pro delivers 16-bit, 48kHz audio resolution that ensures high-definition recordings and live streaming with a single USB connection. Enjoy studio quality straight out of the box with no extra gear or driver downloads required.

The C01U Pro expands on the capabilities of its predecessor with an 1/8” headphone output with zero-latency monitoring which allows the user to listen to themselves in real time. A lower signal-to-noise ratio and smooth frequency response range provides rich, noiseless audio that captures the depth of any performance.

The Samson C01U Pro comes with a tripod desktop stand and swivel mount for optimal boom-arm and mic stand placement. Enjoy plug and play operation (no driver installation necessary) with Windows, Mac OS X or even iPads and iPhones using Apple’s Lightning USB Camera Adapter for those looking to record on the go.
