Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser Microphone, Free Studio Recording Software

The C01U USB Studio Condenser Mic is the first affordable studio condenser mic with a USB interface. For the first time ever, musicians who record music on computers have a simple, affordable way to capture high-quality vocal and acoustic instrument performances.

The C01U is great for :
Recording Vocals, Singing
Recording Acoustic Guitar
Recording Electric Guitar
Recording Bass Guitar
Recording Any Acoustic Instrument

Seamless integration was the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio condenser microphone that can be plugged into any computer with no in/out boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable. The C01U condenser microphone is based on our wildly successful C01. It features a 19mm internal shock mounted diaphragm with a cardioid pick up pattern ensuring pristine studio quality recordings.

The C01U features a large, 19mm ultra thin diaphragm capsule with an onboard high quality Analog-to-Digital converter and USB output. The C01U is perfect for recording your music, or any acoustic audio source on your favorite DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Just plug in the supplied USB cable, launch your DAW and start recording. For expanded control, install the Samson C01U driver software and you'll have additional features like programmable GAIN, Low Cut Filter, Input Metering and Phase switch. The C01U faithfully reproduces a variety of sound sources including vocals, acoustic instruments and overhead cymbals, to name a few. The extended frequency and fast transient response insures an accurate reproduction with linear characteristics from
bottom to top.
The C01U works perfectly on any computer, Mac or PC, and with any DAW software program. It immediately solves a huge problem for users of many laptops, many of which have no other input method for audio devices.

INCLUDES:
- Simple microphone stand
- FREE Cakewalk SONAR LE Recording Software
- USB Cable

It’s a must for any musician on the road or in the project studio, but the C01U is going to offer solutions to more than just musicians. The mic opens up possibilities for anyone who records audio—from Podcasters, journalists, students, and business people adding audio files to websites and multimedia presentations.

The C01U is the perfect microphone for recording podcasts, radio commercials, your own voice for singing exercises and practicing, recording studio quality vocals for a song or album, for use in your home studio or in a project studio, for recording female and male vocals, for recording rap and hip hop vocals or anything else.

Using the Samson C01U with Apple Logic (Mac OS X)

This is the process of setting up the CO1U to work in Logic. This will only work in OSX 10.4 or later.
10.3 and earlier versions don’t have this facility.

Open Audio MIDI Setup (from the Applications/Utilities folder)
Go to the Audio Menu - Open Aggregate Device Editor
Click on the + button to create a new device
It's a good idea to rename it (double click on Aggregate Device in the list and enter the new name eg. CO1U)
The list at the bottom of the window will show all the audio devices connected to the computer. Select the ones you want the device to use by checking the “use” button. For instance, if you only have a CO1U connected you will need to check CO1U and Built-in Audio. Check the clock button on one of the devices, not the CO1U.
Click Done
And that’s it. The device will then appear in Logic under Audio Hardware and Drivers as an available I/O.

The C01U microphone will work with any software that supports USB Audio Class devices and does not require a proprietary audio driver.

On Mac OS X, how come I can see the meter moving in the Sound Preferences panel but I can’t hear any audio.
The current version of Mac OS X does not support "play-through" when using a microphone (internal or USB) as your input device. You will need to use a recording or play through or application to hear the microphone.

Does the C01U require phantom power?
The C01U microphone draws all necessary power from the USB bus.

Can I use multiple C01U microphones at the same time?
Yes, provided the audio application allows the use of multiple USB audio devices.

Do I need to use any special software drivers for the CO1U to work?
The C01U is a USB Audio Class compliant device, which means it does not need any special software drivers to work. To use the microphone, you will need an application open that supports USB audio devices.

Can I plug the C01U into my analog mixing console (XLR)?
No, the C01U is a digital microphone and features a USB output, and needs a USB host (computer) to work.

Will the C01U work with USB 1.1?
Yes, the C01U is a USB 2.0 compliant, full-speed device, and is fully compatible with USB 1.1 or 2.0 full-speed ports.

How can I select different sample rates?
Sample rate is determined by the audio application. The microphone can change to sample at 8, 11.025, 22.05, 44.1, and 48 kHz. Applications may support on-the-fly resampling, which would allow other sampling frequencies.
