Following
on the success of the C01U, Samson is proud to introduce the C03U,
multi-pattern USB studio condenser microphone. Based on the extremely
popular C03 studio condenser, the C03U delivers the same pristine audio
quality and enhanced capabilities along with a high quality A/D
converter and USB output.
The C03U features dual 19mm internal
shock mounted diaphragms with switchable omni, cardioid, and figure-8
pick-up patterns. Perfect for recording vocals or any acoustic
instrument plus the selectable patterns make it ideal for a variety of
specialized recording situations, like multiple vocalists, ambient room
miking, and even a group of people around a conference table recording
a Podcast.
The C03U works seamlessly on any computer running Mac
OS X or Windows XP, and with most DAW software programs without having
to install any extra software or drivers.

The
Samson C03U will work without the SoftPre applet software using the
standard drivers included in your computer's operating system. However
if you would like added functionality of the Samson SoftPre applet
(Input Level Meter, Volume control, High-pass filter and Phase Switch),
you may download the appropriate one for your operating system at our SoftPre Page.
Windows Applet Note:
The Windows SoftPre applet supports WDM and is designed to work with
Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Without the Soft pre applet, Windows
should recognize the mic and use the Windows mixer as a volume control
if needed.
Be sure to check the FAQs for the latest info on how to integrate the C03U with your recording software.
