Description
USB/iOS Broadcast Microphone
Satellite is a broadcast-quality USB/iOS microphone designed to capture high-definition audio on your computer, iPhone, or iPad. An essential part of any streamer, podcaster, or content creator’s recording setup, Satellite offers plug-and-play operation, 24-bit/96kHz audio, three selectable pickup patterns, and a folding leg design in a highly portable package.
Satellite features two premium 16mm condenser capsules that capture vocal warmth and clarity with a smooth, accurate frequency response. An internal shockmount isolates the capsules from the microphone body, minimizing handling noise, vibration, and table rumble.
With zero-latency direct monitoring through its 1/8″ (3.5 mm) headphone jack, Satellite creates no delay between the audio you record and the audio you hear. Its Monitor switch lets you turn off direct monitoring while still hearing audio from your computer.
Take complete control of your recordings with the Samson Satellite Broadcast Microphone. With plug and play compatibility with Mac, Windows, Chromebooks, and iOS devices, the Satellite is perfect for content creators on the go and those working from home. The dual capsule design offers three selectable pickup patterns that allow you to get stellar audio quality when streaming on Twitch, podcasting, vlogging, and more
