In 2005, Samson introduced the world’s first USB studio condenser microphone: the C01U. Samson is now expanding on its groundbreaking design with the new C01U Pro. Replete with a headphone output for zero-latency monitoring and an improved signal-to-noise ratio, the Samson C01U Pro ensures the natural warmth and detail of vocal and instrumental performances are captured in all your digital recordings.The Samson C01U Pro is the ideal solution for musicians, producers, and broadcasters, as well as recording audio for YouTube videos, voiceovers and podcasts. A large, 19mm diaphragm captures all the nuance 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 and vibrations on your recordings.Capturing audio at a 16-bit 44.1/48 kHz resolution with a smooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz, the Samson C01U Pro ensures the authentic projection of both high and low frequencies to your favorite DAW or recording app. In addition, Samson maintains its commitment to user convenience with plug-and-play operation (no driver installation necessary), USB power via Mac, PC or iPad, and a tripod stand and swivel mount for optimal desktop placement. The Samson CO1U Pro is even compatible with iPads and iPhones (4S and later), using Apple's Lightning USB Camera Adapter or Camera Connection Kit (30-pin) to achieve pro-level sound on-the-go.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 C01U Pro. 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.Samson C01UPRO Includes:Tripod standSwivel mountUSB cableSamson C01UPRO Features:USB studio condenser microphoneLarge, 19mm diaphragm ensures pristine studio-quality audioHeadphone output for zero-latency monitoringIdeal for recording music, ADR work, Sound Foley, voiceovers, audio for YouTube videosVastly improves Skype, FaceTime, VoIP applications and speech-to-text dictation softwareSupercardioid pickup patternSmooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz16-bit, 44.1/48kHz resolutionSolid die-cast metal constructionShock-mounted mic elementPeak LED indicatorPlug-and-play, no driver installation requiredCompatible with most recording software and appsUSB bus powered via Mac, PC or iPadSamson Sound Deck Noise Cancellation Software (Mac OS X/Windows) available for purchaseSamson C01UPRO Specifications (Dimensions and Weight Boxed):Height: 8.75"Width: 5.5"Depth: 2.75"Weight: 1.5 lbsNoteNOTE: To learn more about or purchase the Sound Deck software, visit the Samson Sound Deck page for Mac OSX or visit the Samson Sound Deck page for Windows.
