Samson Satellite USB & iOS Broadcast Microphone with Dual 16mm Condenser Capsules

The Samson Satellite is a versatile broadcast-quality microphone designed for both USB and iOS connectivity. It provides a professional audio capture solution for content creators, podcasters, streamers, and musicians who require high-quality sound from their computer, laptop, iPhone, or iPad. Its compact, fold-back leg construction makes it highly portable, ideal for recording on the move or in different locations without compromising on audio fidelity. At the heart of the microphone are dual 16mm electret condenser capsules, which deliver a detailed frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. These capsules capture vocals with warmth and clarity, supported by 24-bit/96kHz resolution for crisp, professional-grade audio. An integrated shockmount helps to minimise handling noise and vibrations, ensuring cleaner recordings. Users can select from three polar patterns—cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional—allowing flexibility to suit different recording scenarios, whether solo vocals, interviews, or group discussions. The Satellite includes practical features for real-time monitoring and control. A zero-latency headphone output with level control lets you hear exactly what's being recorded without delay, while a monitor switch allows you to toggle between direct monitoring and device audio. A dedicated mute switch and intuitive pattern selection controls make operation straightforward. With included USB and USB-to-Lightning cables, it offers plug-and-play compatibility with most modern devices, making it an accessible yet capable tool for enhancing audio quality in various creative and professional applications.
