Review on 🎀 Enhance Your Studio Recordings with the SAMSON C01U Pro USB Studio Condenser Microphone by Mark Clark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheap but great!

I really like this mic. I bought it to replace the Samson C03 because it allows me to listen to my headphones without lag while recording the narration. Works perfectly. But the most important thing is the sound quality. I'm a former radio professional, award-winning public radio journalist and documentary producer and have worked with many high-quality microphones. which they think sound great, mics that are very expensive today. This damn mic may be cheap as dirt, but it's very good! If you work with voice annotation like me and like to work close to the mic (let's say about 3 inches) this mic is amazing - you just don't need to spend more. I think that mic comparisons are mostly subjective (so much depends on the voice or instrument, how the mic is placed, the room, etc.) that it's very similar to the audiophile world where endless reviews compare "thin" differences. Some mics are terrible, but this one isn't one of them. I demand high sound quality and that suits me perfectly.

Pros
  • Smooth, flat frequency response 20Hz-18kHz
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
