## Description

Samson Go Mic Compact USB Microphone is a versatile computer-based miking and recording solution.

Plug and play operation also means it’s completely compatible with a Mac or PC, with no drivers required. The Go Mic is perfect for recording music, podcasts or field recording, but its range of functionality extends beyond typical USB microphones. The Go Mic is also ideal for voice recognition software, iChat, web casting and even Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

Review: Problems with Win 7 audio drivers, but once resolved, stellar performance - I purchased this mic to use for screencasts (recording what's happening on my PC's screen while I talk about it). I set it up to sit on my desktop, approximately 2' away from me and used Camtasia Studio 8 [Download ] and a free program called CamStudio to test it out. Both programs worked well with the mic and did what I'd hoped it would do - eliminated my need for a clunky, wired mic headset. The build quality of the mic seems excellent, and the compact design is fantastic! I love that it comes with its own carrying case and that it can be on a desktop or clipped to a laptop's monitor. KINKS IN MY SYSTEM: MUFFLED AUDIO The included software: Cakewalk's Music Creator LE can be installed on one computer. You get 30 days to register it. I installed it and registered it immediately, but it would not allow me to put in my registration code, saying I wasn't the system administrator. I am, and my Windows 7 PC says I am, but alas, it wouldn't work. This software is optional, but I decided to install it prior to the microphone (per instructions) to try it out. Eventually I ended up uninstalling it. Soon after installing Cakewalk, I had a PC issue: muffled audio recording. No amount of system tweaking seemed to fix it. I was stumped. Then I decided to go to the Samson site and see if there were updated drivers for the mic. The generic ones installed were from 2010. No luck. I began reading online about 'muffled audio' on Windows 7 PCs. Somewhere I noticed a name I recognized: RealTek, which was a name associated with my speakers on my PC (RealTek digital audio). I went to the RealTek site and noted updated drivers for Windows 7 64-bit (2012), and decided to download and install them. I rebooted my PC and tested out the audio recording once more. Much to my delight, this solved the muffled audio problem! I did set the bitrate to the highest level for the best sound quality recording. Afterwards I tested out the mic using Camtasia and CamStudio, both worked beautifully with the Samson Go Mic! On my desk at a distance of about 2.5', this mic pics up my voice perfectly for dictation and screencasts. No hiss, hum, breath noises or distortion. Very clear and with the properly installed drivers for my audio - works perfectly with the USB 2.0 connection on my powered USB hub. CONCLUSION: BUY IT FOR GREAT RECORDINGS This mic is a truly great if it's recognized and properly configured by your system. Impressively clear recordings, unlike any I've been able to obtain using a Plantronics .Audio 655 USB Multimedia Headset or the mic on my Microsoft LifeCam Cinema 720p HD Webcam - Black . For the price, I don't think you can do better. It's compact, has great voice pick-up and audio recording clarity. Installation issues may occur, but updating audio drivers, using a powered USB hub connection and tweaking audio settings within the operating system should give you the quality you've been hoping for at a price that's right. UPDATE: 12/30/13 Been using this mic consistently for a couple months and I'm liking it. It's a condenser mic, and doesn't filter out ambient noise as well as I'd like, however for an under forty dollar purchase - I'm still very happy with it. Cakewalk never has registered correctly with my system so I uninstalled it. I guess if anything, that's been the downside to this purchase.
Review: Excellent Portable Mic - UPDATE June 15: I've had this mic for over 3 years now and it's still going just as strong as the day I bought it. IF it ever breaks, I've already made up my mind to buy another just like it. Couldn't be happier with it. Original Review: I was sick of dealing with poor microphones from headsets and all the hubbub of headphone microphones and I simply do not trust logitech or many other big-brand companies to produce long-lasting quality microphones that stand alone on a desk. I then found the Samson Go Mic and thought it might be the best solution for my needs. I was definitely pleased to finally do some of my own testing and find out that it was all they said it is and more. My uses for this mic include voip applications like skype, mumble, ventrillo, and others, as well as for blog posts and even amateur voice recording. I also wanted something better than my laptop's mic to record lectures for class. Everything comes through crystal clear on this mic even at low volumes. For my voip applications, I actually let it sit behind my keyboard but directly in front of my screen. In normal cardioid mode, it picks up my voice perfectly. I can even whisper very quietly and it comes through on the other end loud and clear. I never have problems with people saying they cannot understand me no matter how low I'm talking. This is also great for me since I often like to chat late at night when my girlfriend sleeps in the next room. I'm no longer yelling and waking her up at night because I'm confident other people can hear me even with my mic so far away. For lectures, I switch to omni mode and it produces wonderful results. It's like having a third ear that records directly on to my computer. I also love how portable it is as I can just slip it into either my laptop bag or pocket without an issue at the end of class. The only complaint I might have is that I find the cord actually to be too long as I'm either plugging the usb cable into my keyboard's usb port or laptop's on my desk and the extra length is just wound up in a wad in its original twist-tie it came with, simply adding more bulk when it doesn't need to. Other people may need the extra length though, so this is somewhat of a non-issue. Lastly, the stand is a fairly heavy metal that has more than enough weight to hold the mic and is a pretty good mechanism for doing so. I simply wish the clip opened further to attach to bulkier monitors. Overall, I love this mic and I'm very happy I went with this one over one of the blue competitors I've been seeing on sale lately. Its cardioid mode is excellent and the omni mode is great for recording lectures and conversations alike. I just wish more people had this mic so they'd all be as easy to understand on my end as I am on theirs. I would recommend this mic to anyone who doesn't need super-high quality, studio grade equipment for professional recording as it does a great job of picking up voices and is very well-built and portable. Seriously: get this mic - it's more than worth the 40 clams you'll pay for it. UPDATE: Still loving this mic, and have yet to have many problems with it, except for maybe one or two, which I list below. The mic actually picks up on too much sometimes, so you have to be careful with it somewhat. Specifically, I had originally positioned this mic in front of my keyboard thinking it needed to be that close to me to pick up well. When I was on skype however typing on the keyboard, people would complain that my keyboard sounded like it was being pounded by the hammer of Thor. Easy fix though: I simply moved it just above my monitor and nobody has complained since. The only other thing with this mic I might complain about is that it picks up GSM interference somewhat badly. I've had my phone sitting on my desk in skype and gotten a call only to hear people on the other end screech in horror that my mic was beeping and buzzing out of control. I've found that using better shielded cable has helped (and attaching one of those little circular magnets to that as well) but the problem still somewhat persists sometimes. This is only a GSM problem though from what I understand, and so shouldn't affect people on verizon/sprint, and also fairly common in almost all mics of this size or larger. Still, these incidences are rare and correctable, but something to be conscience of. I would still like to say that this is the best mic I've ever used and am extremely happy with my purchase. I still only wish a few of my friends online had one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could this work as a gaming microphone?**
A: Yes. However you may be better off with the other Samson Meteor microphone that looks like a metal bullet for not much more at brand new price. It has a headphone adjustment knob on the front for monitoring purposes. It also features noise cancelling with the included software. Best part is that it has an standard tripod mount screw mount for accepting any tripod or portable base with a tripod screw built in.

Ignore the one who suggest the Blue Yeti microphone. You can do much better for the budget. Look up DankPods YouTube video on budget microphones to get a general idea and where to start.

**Q: I lost the usb cord to connect the mic to my laptop.  Where can I get one??**
A: Just run to a Best Buy or jump on Amazon to find a micro-USB cord. It's universal, therefore you don't have to use the one that came with it and they are pretty inexpensive. You could even use the one that came with your smartphone (depending upon what kind of phone you have).

**Q: just one more question, comes with its USB cable. because they do not see it in the description. thanks for your quick respons**
A: If you buy brand new it should come with the USB cable

**Q: I understand that the question has been asked, but I would like to know how close one must be to get a good recording?  Vocals & Acoustic Guitar?**
A: Not too close, because if you are too close is going to listen with too much bass. If you are playing guitar just put the microphone near the hand that you are making the chords, it will listen more clear. I used like that or 1.5 ft distance from the my guitar hole. for the voice even more far from my mouth. I use garage band to record, so i plug it and use headphone to listen me at the same time as playing; just ajust your distance in order to get the perfect balance between your voice and your guitar. It's a great microphone, I am really impressed, you will love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very few drawbacks to a microphone this rich in vocal sound
*by K***M on October 4, 2014*

This microphone has a lot of potential and does a great job handling voiceovers and live webinars--the two basic reasons why I purchased it. I use mine with a 15-inch MacBook Pro (mid-2010 model) running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite beta). I am typically using this microphone while running online training sessions via Citrix Go To Meeting, but when recording voiceovers, I use this microphone with Audacity (v. 2.0.5) and have had great success with it. The positives seem to far outweigh the things that are negative about the Samson Go, making this an attractive microphone for under 40 bucks. My expectations were low, but thus far I haven't been disappointed. What has impressed me the most about the microphone is its rich, well-rounded sound for voice. I didn't expect that for a microphone that's a little larger than a USB jump drive. One of the other pleasant surprises of this compact audio tool is the fact that it can be attenuated with a little switch on the side of the body of the microphone. This allows the user to change the pickup pattern from an omni (circle) to a cardioid (heart-shaped circle) and a -10db setting to help knock down the output if sound is overdriven. There is also a 2.5mm headphone jack for monitoring sound coming from the mic. This microphone feels like it has some heft, and that's largely due to the metal base to which the microphone is attached, not the microphone itself. The microphone has a plastic body, but the trim around the sides and top is metal. The one negative I have about this--the one thing that knocked a possible 5-star rating down to 4 stars--is the attenuation switch. The first time I used the switch, it felt loose and did not click in to position crisply. I moved the switch a few times and did test recordings; it worked fine. Noting that there were a number of negative reviews regarding the premature death of this microphone, I chose to check my Sound setting in the System Preferences to make sure the Samsung Go was being used strictly as an input device and not as a substitute for my external or built-in speakers. Adjust your Mac Sound setting for the microphone by going to System Preferences > Sound > Output. Included with the microphone is a nice carrying case for the microphone. It's not big enough for the USB cord or the stand-securing nut included with the microphone. My final note is about sound output from the microphone. I worked in the technical end of broadcasting for 30 years and have been around audio booths the entire time, both in the days of analog and in the Digital Age. It's important that output settings are tested and set appropriately before recording can begin. Yes, this microphone is basically "plug-and-play", but if the settings are too low or too high, you'll never get the right sound you are hoping for. It's all about the settings.
