Unboxing Samson G Track Condenser Microphone

Yo folks!

Pretty delighted to receive my Amazon package couple of days back. My Samson G Track microphone has finally arrived just in time for Christmas! =D

(My CNY gift is on the way MUAAhahaha...)

This USB condenser microphone has a few nifty features. First, it has a good level of noise reduction and SuperCardioid pickup pattern. Second, it is a condenser, so I can plug in any analogue electric instrument (say guitar or bass) without the need for a USB audio mixer. It even comes with audio out so I can plug in a reference headset and listen to the recorded music while recording the vocal track. Third, the on-set controls are brilliant; I can change the different pickup volumes, stereo/mono recording and mono/stereo/cpu monitoring directly on the set to get "clean" sound. Adjusting all these using software sometimes just isn't good enough.

And here's the unboxing fotos =D




Actually they don't deliver this item to SG, but I managed to get it via VPost kekeke.


The back of the box. Shows product features and some technical info.




It comes with ALL the cables that I need, 1/4" to 1/8" male-to-male, 1/4" to 1/8" female-to-male, audio component to 1/8" male. It's really thoughtful because I just hate those products that don't ship with the necessary cables and make u guess which "hole" is for what >,<!!

Took me a short while to assemble it. Though it may look straightforward, there's a nut that needs to be removed using a screwdriver in the pivot swivel before the whole thing can be put together. It would be great if the manual documented the assembly of the mic+stand.



The mic works with any audio recording software and any operating system that supports the USB audio driver/codec. That'll include all professional Win/Mac audio production software like Apple's Garageband and Adobe's Audition.

I recorded a track and found the quality to be exceptionally good (based on its price tag). So be assured that I'll be using this to record my demo audio tracks from now on.

Overall, I find this a value-for-money and quality product and will certainly recommend it for anyone who is into DJing, pod casting or song writing.
