Samson Satellite USB Microphone

Full Description

Perfect for vocal recording, podcasts, and more

The Samson Satellite is a truly versatile microphone, perfect for a wide range of recording applications. From capturing studio-grade vocal recordings to interviewing someone for a podcast, the Satellite can do it all. The integrated tripod desktop stand makes it easier than ever to get setup and recording. Simply place it on a flat surface, plug it into your chosen device, and you’re ready to go.

Choose from various pickup patterns and optimise the microphone for different recording scenarios. Using the cardioid pattern is ideal for recording vocals or for voice chat whilst gaming online. The bidirectional pattern is great for interviews and podcasts, recording sounds from either side of the microphone. What’s more the omnidirectional pattern will pick up sound from all around the microphone, which is perfect when you need to pick up multiple sound sources.

High-definition audio quality

At the heart of the Samson Satellite are dual 13mm condenser capsules. These high-grade capsules provide an extended frequency response, so you can capture more details when recording. The high-quality capsules record audio at 24-bit/96kHz high-definition resolutions to ensure the best possible recording, every single time.

The internal design of the microphone features a built-in shockmount, minimising unwanted noise from handling or moving the microphone. The integrated grille also helps to minimise sibilance and plosive noises for a clean and concise sound.

Zero-latency performance

Compatible with both iOS devices and standard computers, the Samson Satellite is one of the most flexible and portable USB mics on the market. The compact design and portable size makes it perfect for creating on the move.

The integrated headphone output means you can monitor you sound whilst you record. This allows you to troubleshoot any problems with ease and truly appreciate the pristine sound the microphone delivers. It even features a built-in monitor switch so you can toggle the direct monitoring feature on or off.
