After taking a hard look at the computer-based recording segment Samson has come up with a truly revolutionary product: The C01U USB studio condenser microphone. 
 
The C01U takes Samson’s incredible sounding condenser mic technology, and adds the “plug and play” simplicity of USB (Universal Serial Bus). No more interface boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just plug-in, and start recording. 

 
Until now there was no easy, affordable way to get high-quality vocals, or recordings of acoustic instruments into a DAW program. Now there is.
 
Based on our hugely successful C01 Studio Condenser mic, the C01U features a 19mm internal shock mounted diaphragm with a cardioid pick up pattern ensuring pristine studio quality recordings. And thanks to the powered USB connection, you can get those recordings anywhere your computer goes: tour bus, hotel room, anywhere. 
 
With a price of just £69 RRP inc VAT the C01U looks set to be a must for anyone, from home studio beginners to pros on the road.   The CO1U is scheduled to ship in Q2 2005 and is compatible with both Mac and Windows.
