Portable USB condenser microphone

The Samson Go Mic is a compact condenser microphone that connects via USB and clips directly onto a laptop or sits on a desk. It is aimed at users who need a lightweight recording tool for music, podcasts, field recording, voice recognition, video chat or VoIP applications. Plug-and-play operation works on both Mac OS and Windows without installing drivers. The small form factor makes it practical for mobile setups.

16-bit 44.1 kHz resolution and switchable patterns

The microphone captures audio at a 16-bit depth and a 44.1 kHz sample rate with a frequency response of 20Hz to 18kHz. Users can select between cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns to suit different recording situations. Because the device draws power from the USB port, there is no external power supply and no additional cables for power. The simple connection keeps the desk free of extra clutter.

Clip-on mounting and included accessories

A built-in clip secures the microphone to a laptop screen or allows it to stand on a flat surface, giving flexibility for desk or mobile use. The package supplies the microphone, a USB data cable, a manual and an insurance card. No driver installation is required, so the device is ready to record as soon as it is plugged in. The compact design stores easily in a laptop bag.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the Go Mic to my laptop and which orientation mistake should I avoid?

Clip the microphone onto the laptop lid or place it on a desk, then select cardioid or omni pattern with the switch — the common error is leaving it on the wrong pattern for the room.

What upkeep will the Go Mic need over time?

The condenser capsule has no user-serviceable parts; keep the grille clean with a dry brush and protect the USB cable from sharp bends to avoid intermittent connection.

At what point does the 16-bit 44.1 kHz resolution become the limiting factor during long sessions?

The fixed 16-bit depth and 44.1 kHz sample rate cap dynamic range and high-frequency capture, so extended high-SPL sources will hit quantisation noise before the analogue stage clips.
