Review: Es un micrófono de condensador muy bueno ya que la entrada es USB y no necesitas tabla de mezcla ni alimentación extra. Para usar de puerto de carga un USB directo al PC tiene una calidad de audio muy buena. Fui mirando micrófonos no muy caros y me encontré con este, parecía de buena calidad y buen materia, no me equivoque es un micrófono que sin duda tiene una calidad excelente. Los materiales son fuertes y el sonido que capta espectacular. Lo mejor que le veo a este micrófono sin duda es su calidad de audio, materiales que lo construyen y precio. La verdad es que me esperaba un pero resultado de un micrófono con este precio. Lo único malo que le veo es que al no tener mezcladora se cuela mucho ruido por minimo que sea, pero no es problema alguna ya que si grabas con audacity o un programa así se lo puedes quitar con mucha facilidad. En general es un micrófono perfecto para cantantes sobre todo y YouTubers, en general todo lo que sea grabar en un sitio fijo. ## Features - Specifications: Frequency response: 20 - 18,000 Hz; Directional characteristics: High Parker diode; Element: Back condenser type; Diaphragm thickness: 3 microns - Input Sensitivity: Maximum Gain -40dBFS/Pa, Minimum Gain -4 dBFS/Pa, Maximum Sound Pressure Level: 130dB(Max SPL) - Accessories: Swivel mount holder, tripod desk stand, USB 2.0 cable (A-B) 4.9 ft (1.5 m), 5/8 (male) to 3/8 (female) conversion screw ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HXE4BYW | | Amazon Bestseller | #70,911 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1,229 in Condenser Microphones | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Color Name | Silver | | Country Produced In | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,449) | | Date First Available | June 20, 2014 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00809164016045, 00809164020363 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.99 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 5.4 x 18 x 5.4 cm | | Item model number | SAC01UPRO | | Manufacturer | SAMSON | | Microphone Form Factor | Studio Capacitors | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Power Source | Usb Cable | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | UPC | 809164016045 809164020363 | ## Product Details - **Audio Sensitivity:** 40 Decibels - **Brand:** SAMSON - **Color:** Silver - **Compatible Devices:** Headphone - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Connector Type:** USB - **Included Components:** USB Cable - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Singing - **Special Feature:** Stand ## Images ![Samson C01U Pro - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31W94O3Z+YL.jpg) ![Samson C01U Pro - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CUpfJv2TL.jpg) ![Samson C01U Pro - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61g0kT8L3lL.jpg) ![Samson C01U Pro - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z4ar43wfL.jpg) ![Samson C01U Pro - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zm32KwD4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the headphone jack on the front used to hear your own voice?** A: Yes. The headphone jack on the front gives you instant monitoring of what the microphone is picking up before it goes to the computer. You can move closer or farther away, or turn your head slightly, and hear the difference it makes in the recorded sound. **Q: I can use it with windows 10??** A: I use have Windows 10 and it works, so yeah. **Q: Does it compatiple a Windows system** A: Yes, it is compatible with a Windows system. **Q: Is it compatible with windows 8?** A: I would imagine so... Samson site says it self-installs on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and all Mac OS X. I cannot find any reference to Windows 8. It also works with all iPads. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***S on July 4, 2019* Great sounding mic and very easy to setup. Plug and play. Build quality is great.

I definitely don't regret it! My use case is using it as a vocal mic for recording podcasts and VoIP (Skype), at my desk at home, with a sprung boom arm, shock mount and pop sheild. The supercardoid pattern does a good job of rejecting sound off of centre. The capsule is very sensitive, and renders vocals with little colouration. In fact if anything it's a bit too sensitive! The gain is controlled via the sound driver on the computer, and I've found it need to be set very low (7-10%) for doing close mic vocal work. One slightly odd thing - if you have the volume set to less than about 5, some slightly weird gating goes under a certain threshold (about -50dB) - mostly not audible but if you're going to compress the recording you might hear bursts of noise. Turn the gain up to 7 or above and that seems to go away (at least, there's consistent background noise instead of weird gate-y background noise). Signal to noise is pretty good, too, and it sounds like the pre-amp is pretty decent, about as good as I would expect for a USB powered in-mic preamp. Unfortunately as it has no XLR output there's not the option to use an external pre and/or mixer, so you're slightly limited there. But really if that's the sort of thing you want to do, you really want to spend a bit more getting a standard condenser and a separate preamp (and/or USB interface). Bass tip up (proximity effect) is quite marked - you get a good boost any closer than about 15cm away. Fantastic for vocals, but if you're looking to record musical instruments you'll need to give it plenty of space to prevent the sound getting muddy (esp. miking the sound hole of an acoustic guitar). The built in windshield is fairly good, but I'm glad I invested in a proper pop shield for close vocal work. The build quality is great - very solid feeling, the bicolour LED indicator is bright enough to see without being blinding (like the fashionable ultra-bright blue LEDs you often see!). The headphone socket is very solid, no fear of breaking it with a tug on the lead. The USB socket feels very solid too - although unlike an XLR it's not locking - so you bear that in mind. The stand which it comes with does feel solid, and the mic does stay steady on it, seems a bit small for the weight - but maybe that's just preference. I'm using this with the shock mount (Samson SP01), which is pretty good quality too. The only slight niggle is that if you want headphones plugged in at the same time as using the shock mount, the headphone jack will interfere with the metalwork - easily solved if you rotate the mic around a little bit in the shock mount, but a bit annoying nonetheless. Also worth mentioning that if you have headphones connected to the mic, they're clearly not going to be isolated by the shock mount so you may need to be a tad careful with the headphone lead to stop it picking up handling noise. What would be nice is a carry case of some sort that fits the mic, USB lead and mini tripod stand - which isn't included. For a low cost mic, it's great value and might be suitable for a home studio or even a professional voiceover booth on a tight budget. ## Frequently Bought Together - Samson C01U Pro USB Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone Mic+Tripod Stand - Samson Spider Shock Mount for C01, C03, CL7, CL8, C15, C01U & C03U --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/743607172-samson-c01u-pro](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/743607172-samson-c01u-pro) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
