Samson C01U Pro Podcasting Pack (Silver)

Suitable for podcasting, VO recording, and even VoIP conferencing, the Samson C01U Pro is a microphone that plugs directly into your computer over USB, forsaking the need for an audio interface, mic preamp, headphone amp, or any other similar kind of fancy audio equipment. With this silver microphone, you should have nearly everything you need to get started recording or streaming your voice in broadcast quality.

The mic works with Mac and Windows computers, and can even work with iOS devices if you have a separately-available adapter. You can monitor your audio without any latency straight from the mic’s headphone jack, and you’ll find the mic’s highly directional pickup pattern quite useful in minimizing unwanted room noise. It ships with a desktop mic stand, a swivel mount, and a USB cable, so you can get started right away.

The black Samson SR850C are semi-open, over-ear studio headphones offering smooth tone and a natural soundstage for recording engineers, mixers, musicians, and casual listeners. The semi-open design allows some sound to bleed out and in, creating improved stereo imaging and audibility of ambient sound. Large 50mm dynamic drivers deliver a frequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz with deep bass and clear treble.

The SR850C headphones have thick velour earpads and a self-adjusting headband to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. The single-sided cable resists tangles and provides plenty of length. The gold-plated 3.5mm mini plug and 1/4″ adapter provide wide compatibility with consumer and professional devices.
