GETTING BETTER SOUND FROM SAMSON Q1U FULL
Listen in headphones to get the full effect. Noiseįirst, I wanted to compare the noise levels between the original C01U and the new Pro. I made several recordings of the Pro to help judge how good it sounds. How does it sound? Well I have always been a fan of the C01U and its sound quality. Supercardioid pickup pattern So how does it sound already? It also allows more sound from behind the mic than a standard cardioid, so keep that in mind if you have a very echoy-room. This is similar to the cardioid pattern, but it rejects more sound from the side. The new Pro version does not (at least according to their website) change the basic stuff that affects audio tone and quality, such as the large 19mm diaphragm and "supercardiod pickup pattern." For more info on what pickup patterns are, see my post Directional and Omnidirectional Microphones - What Are They Good For?īTW, a supercardioid pattern means the mic picks up sound best from right in front of the mic. Here are some key specs for the C01U (both the original and Pro version).

Those two improvements alone make this a worthy upgrade from the original. That round trip causes a timing delay called "latency." Having the headphone plug right on the mic lets you hear what you're recording at the very instant you speak/sing, etc. That means if you are recording along with, say, a music track, you don't have to wait for the sound from your mic to make the round trip to and back from your computer before you can hear what you're recording. this allows for "latency-free" monitoring while you record. The other major difference between the new Pro version and original is the addition of a headphone jack on the mic, itself. And with the C01U Pro, Samson has almost completely gotten rid of that hiss! But it would be much better to prevent it in the first place. It CAN be removed with noise reduction fairly easily, since it was a steady consistent noise. The best thing about it is the signal-to-noise ratio! I have the original version of the Samson C01U, and the hiss from the mic is quite loud. And the Samson C01U Pro is definitely among the best. USB mics are getting better - less noisy for sure. This convenience is a trade-off in quality, however.
You just plug the mic directly into your computer and you're ready to record. And the power comes from the USB connection. An interface provides phantom power (condenser mics need 48v of power), conversion of sound to digital format, and preamplification ("preamps").īut a USB mic needs none of that. Why? Well you can read more about that in my post What Is A USB Microphone?īasically, a standard microphone (3-pin/"XLR" connector) needs extra electronics and a way to plug it into a computer. USB microphones are extremely convenient and usually offer excellent bang-for-the-buck in terms of audio quality. But first, let's talk about what a USB microphone is. Do not release private information such as names or addresses.I just spent several days testing out the new Samson C01U Pro USB studio condenser microphone.
