The Samson C01 Studio Condenser Microphone. An entry level Condenser, but there is not a lot that is “entry level” about it besides the price.
In a world where choice is key, and information is right at our fingertips, creating a product that keeps up with the constantly changing playing field while retaining the essence of what it originally set out to do speaks volumes about the manufacturer. You may call it high praise, but this is merely my stand point on the team producing Samson microphones. The saying goes, “if it aint broke, don’t fix it”, and I firmly believe that this is an ethos that Samson(tech) live by. Case in point, the versatile Samson C01 Condenser microphone.
With its 19mm ultra-thin diaphragm, smooth cardioid pickup pattern and gold plated XLR connectors, this is a condenser that can serve the newbie recording enthusiast or podcaster, all the way to the professional engineer looking for a microphone that sounds great no matter what you aim it at. Whilst the response has had some colouring, warmer bass pickup and extended top end, this is the type of colouring that usually brings out the best of the vocal or instrument you put it on. While Microphone placement and preamps also play a role behind the scenes, without these elements, this microphone simply gets the job done without much fuss.
The housing of this mic is made of high gauge metal, really super tough and robust. The blue LED Phantom power indicator on the front of the housing is a nice touch, and adds a little bit of “mood lighting” into your studio room or booth. Topping off this killer package is the Hard Shell case supplied with the microphone.
Samson sells an optional shockmount, the SP01, to compliment this mic, and together you will have a microphone setup that will keep you on track (lol) for years to come. This is one of those microphones that you will keep in your cabinet as your studio grows, even when you invest in higher end kit.
The renown Presonus Audiobox USB 96 audio interface. The tech sheet says it has two analogue inputs, stereo outputs as well as Midi in and out on 5 pin din connectors. Included in the package is a slightly stripped-down version of Presonus’ highly acclaimed STUDIO ONE software, now in its 3rd version.
The software actually has pretty much all the features that a newbie producer would need to start making beats and producing music. Unlimited audio and midi channel count, a variety of FX and built-in virtual instruments, downloadable sound packs once registered, plus loads more. The software offering, in this writers opinion, is worth the price tag alone.
But back to the soundcard. The previous version of this interface only recorded at a resolution of 48khz. The little blue box got an upgrade a year or two back, allowing recordings of up to 96khz, hence the name of the soundcard in question. I personally track audio at 48khz, meaning above CD quality’s standard 44khz. 96khz is slight overkill in my view, especially in the entry level market, however, the fact that it is available, and if you have a faster computer with enough hard drive space to accommodate the slightly larger file sizes, then 96khz extra digital headroom might be worth your while.
A dedicated headphone output with its own volume control rounds off this very capable audio device, making it my go to interface, value for money-wise, for years now. A decent review would not be complete without a minor niggle here and there. Mine comes in the form of line inputs – there are none on the Audiobox. XLR microphone and Hi-Z instrument inputs on the same combo inputs as the XLR only. This is versus the closest competitor to Presonus, who offer their interfaces with switchable instrument/LINE inputs. Line inputs, of course, being handy if you need to send the output from a mixer or cd player, as examples, to be recorded by the interface. Instead of seeing RED, I hope Presonus finds a way to add this feature to the product in the future. This will truly make the interface a hands down winner in the entry level USB soundcard market, let’s see if they can get their focus right…
For now, the Presonus Audiobox USB 96 is an absolute bargain if you are looking for your first interface, or just require a reliable soundcard for everyday use. Dedicated digital drivers make latency issues a non-issue, and USB 2.0 connectivity means compatibility with most PC and Mac machines.
