Samson Meteorite - Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone with Magnetic Desktop Base

The Samson Meteorite is a compact USB condenser microphone designed to instantly improve audio for podcasts, video calls, streaming, online classes , and home recordings. It features a 14mm cardioid pickup pattern that captures voices from the front and reduces rear noise, delivering a smooth, flat response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz . Its 16-bit / 44.1–48 kHz digital resolution ensures crystal-clear recordings directly into your computer without any interfaces or drivers ( class-compliant ).

Thanks to its swiveling magnetic base , the Meteorite positions and adjusts in seconds for precise source aiming; you can also detach the microphone from the base and speak directly into the capsule in noisy environments. It includes a built-in USB cable for a clutter-free desktop and a bi-color LED (power/clip) for level control. It works with USB power from PCs/Macs , and with the appropriate adapter, also works with iPads/iPhones (Lightning/USB-C) or Android devices (OTG) .
