However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. As with the majority of new technological products is isn't very long before we start to see smaller versions. The Samson Go is prime example of this trend. This Samson Go MicUSB functioning miniature mic features novel product design with its tiny fold out swivel arm concept. It can clip to your laptop or sit at the desk. Easily one of the most exceptional examples of tiny condenser microphones in the market.

It also comes with a premium grade pop shield that is specifically tailored to sit the optimal distance from the microphone. A pop-filter is an undeniable necessity if you want your recordings to be free of interference and harsh plosive sound spikes. The Rode NT-USB is easy to attach to its complementary ring mount and tripod stand. Both are of a solid build. It has the same frequency range as the Blue Yeti. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty Incredible sound in any environment. The Meteor has been designed to deliver outstanding audio quality with a smooth and flat frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. The mic utilises CD-quality 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz resolution for professional results, whilst the capsule's cardioid polar pattern provides exceptional directivity and isolation. Plus, the 25mm (1'') diaphragm gives you that signature condenser sound with plenty of clarity and detail. From guitars and vocals to drums and bass, the Samson Meteor lets you capture faithful recordings with ease. Versatile designMeteor Micis a unique, all-in-one solution that lets you make great recordings on your computer, so you always make an impact.

It is a condenser mic (a microphone that uses diaphragm vibrations as a capacitor), which is powered by a Universal Serial Bus or (USB). The USB provides the pre-amplification then converts the audio data. Polar Patterns Takes a while for it to be recognized by your computer. This seems to be a common issue with the low-budget Samson offerings (Go Mic, Meteor, Meteorite). Meteor Micis the universal solution for recording music on your computer. Perfect for your home studio, Meteor Micis also ideal for Skype, iChat or voice recognition software. With Meteor Mic, you can make incredible recordings that are out of this world. The box that it comes in isn’t anything too special, but it doesn’t feel like cheap plastic that takes years to get open.Unlike other USB mics that require a powered USB hub, Meteor Micplugs right into your iPad with Apple's Lightning USB Camera Adapter or Camera Connection Kit (30-pin). It's never been easier to start recording... Our two main contenders for best cheap USB condenser mic are the Samson Go and the Blue Snowball iCE both offer exceptional value for money as desktop USB microphones. If your budget still happens to be a little lighter the FiFine performs well for its monetary value. The BC Master features a custom made condenser capsule and its diaphragm measures 16mm. It looks like a standard bodied cardioid mic and reminds us of the mic that comes with the Focusrite Scarlett Studio in a box kit. So it is probably from a production line that fabricates for a variety of mass-produced brands.

I didn’t like the fact that I had to use a traditional pop filter with it. It should have come with a mini windscreen. Consensus/Conclusion As podcasting continues to grow in popularity, creators need both audio quality and ease of use. Meteor Miccan help you wow your listeners and set yourself apart in a crowded podcasting community. The 16-bit/44KHz sampling rate is technically below that provided by some really high end equipment – for instance the Blue Yeti Pro that I’ll be looking at shortly has 24bit/192KHz sampling – but it’s still more than sufficient for casual and even quite professional work. It is, after all, the same sampling rate used on CDs. Due to its size, it doesn't handle higher sound pressure levels as well as standard sizes. This means it won't be any good for mounting up a drum set nor recording at distances but the Samson Go Mic is a fantastic option for conferencing, audio notes/memos and is especially good for in the field or on the go audio recording.
