Great mic. Hefty and compact, it really feels like quality Equipment.

Amazing. I hope they continue to stock these for the apple users!!

A good quality mic, perfect for working at home and conference calls.

Default driver for Windows 10 is broken or my mic is defective. Consistent issues I've had: - audio out to my headset is broken (hissing sounds, or no audio at all [used multiple headsets to test]) - audio input does not work, making the mic useless - not plug in play on windows 10 as described - did troubleshooting (reinstall drivers, power cycle pc and mic, install latest drivers, etc) all to no avail. My yeti nano works consistently and without issues. This mic on the other hand is not reliable. Build quality is the best I've seen. Shame :/

The Samson Satellite iOS/USB Broadcast Microphone is one of the latest from Motu ( a maker of audio devices and software.) The first thing you will notice when you take it out of the box is that it is an attractive piece of equipment. Compact, solid and well built. Of course, the visuals and feel of electronic device are not a true indicator of performance but it is good start when you can tell that it is high quality. So let’s take a look of the pros and the cons of this microphone : Pros - Decent sound quality. There are better on the market, but they are all more expensive and much less portable. Easily portable. This is one of those microphones that you can easily just carry it in a laptop bag or similar. It requires no other stands as the there are retractable feet built in. Capacitance touch mute button. This is one of those well thought out features. For those that never really used a microphone much, those microphones with a physical button for the mute almost always make a pop or click sound when you mute them. Capacitance touch does not do that . Solid top notch build quality. Mostly metal and high grade plastic. As good as microphones that are much more expensive Headset input with a volume control built in for the headset . Both Windows and iOS compatible. No drivers required. Plug it in and go. It should be noted that for Windows 10 , it shows up as a headset so you do have to go into the audio settings. Threaded mount on the bottom of the microphone if you want to put it on a stand. Great value for the money. Cons - Samson includes both a USB and lighting cable. They are 3 feet at most. It would have made much more sense to include a 2 meter cable. I can see many scenarios where this would be more that 3 feet from a computer. No sound control on the microphone, it is all software controlled. I hate when manufactures do this and maybe Samson was trying to keep it as portable as possible but if you can put a volume control for the head set, it does not take much to come up with one for the volume of the microphone. This does not include a pop filter. Now I know manufactures expect you to buy one ( which Samson does sell) but it is unclear which one will fit best . You definitely need one, there are a lot of popping and extended “s” sounds when using. This is especially true if you are talking too close ( as in using the included short USB cable.) Overall , this is a great portable microphone that will do the job in most cases. It has all the basic features you would expect in a quality microphone and is a great deal for $100. Recommend.
