Introduction
The SAMSON Meteor Mic is a condenser microphone (commonly found in studios). With its large 1″ / 25 mm diaphragm condenser it has a 20Hz – 20 kHz frequency response. This means that it has a much greater frequency response, a louder output, more sensitivity and a transient response when compared with, for example, dynamic microphones.
Being a unidirectional microphone (also known as a cardioid microphone), the SAMSON Meteor Mic is good at rejecting sounds from other than the front direction. This makes them great to be used as vocal or speech microphones.
The SAMSON Meteor Mic and various accessories are available from Amazon.com.
