SAMSON マイク ポータブル USB コンデンサ Go Mic

As an editor, proof-reader and re-writer in Japan, I've noticed a 'trend' in the past few months, when editing presentations for international conferences. Previously, it was enough to get the grammar correct and the confusing and clumsy expressions sorted-out and THEN have the client practice delivering the script, with me correcting their stress, pronunciation and intonation. NOW, when every pocket and hand-bag contains a 'smart-phone' or another device capable of digital recording, the clients have begun requesting a recording of MY voice reading the presentations that I've just finished editing. On my (formerly) high-end desktop nothing has worked--those 'skype-type' headsets, with built-in mics, regardless of price, which work OK for telephone conversations, had so much static that it sounded as if someone were sending Morse code behind my reading. I had to use my quieter net-book, send the file to my wife's Mac and then FWD the reasonably-acceptable files to my work PC and then FWD to the clients...What a pain! The 'SAMSON Go-Mic' has solved all of these problems. Sound quality has gone up by several orders of magnitude. Professional, 'studio-quality' recordings, directly to my work computer are now possible through a USB port and it works brilliantly with all the recording software programs that I've tried. My tests were all conducted without a 'pop-screen' and still sounded ten times better than any of my previous voice recordings. I recommend this mic very highly for spoken vocals and imagine that it will work equally well for a wide variety of musicians, especially vocalists. Pod-casters and people on the go will love it for its tiny size and great sound. The built-in audio interface(s) seem to work very well in almost every configuration. You basically get 3 different mic formats in one tiny package, the size of a cigar lighter. A bonus, often lacking in other similarly-priced mics, is the headphone (or studio-monitor) socket. I can use my best headphones with the Go-Mic. Great! This is a REAL bargain for great technology. [My unit was sourced from amazon.co.jp...excellent product and outstanding service!] [This review is copied and pasted from my review which was published on amazon.com]

I was concerned about buying this mic as some of the one and two star ratings had had a bad experience. But I bought it anyway, it turns out to be very good. The clip looks like it's plastic but it is metal, so very strong.

Great mic but the power is always on.

小型の上に、構造的にちゃっちく見えたため少々不安でしたが、、 まったく問題ないです。 音もクリアで小さい声もちゃんと拾ってくれます。 その上、使用して１年たちましたが音割れもなく故障もなく指向性変換もしっかりと機能しています。 その上結構頑丈ですね。 何回か机に結構な勢いで落としてしまったのですが、 全く壊れる気配がありません。 そして、何といっても値段が安いので、コスパが本当にいいです。 是非お勧めしたいマイクです。

これとGoogleドキュメントの音声入力機能を利用して講義などをその場で文章化することが可能である。 コツ 話者との距離を詰める この機器の感度を最大化する お前とその周りは黙って内容の行間を読め だ ただこの録文技術はまだまだ不完全で時々音声入力のリフレッシュ（オンオフ）を適度に挟まなくてはならない。 ただ音声入力はGoogleが世界中からデータを集めてこれからも認識性能は上がるため期待値はかなり高い。

USBコンデンサーマイクはたくさんでまわってますが、それなりに大きいし値段もそれなり。 ぶっちゃけ、そこまでのスペックはいらないけど良い音で声を録音したい…という人にはとてもお勧めです。 欠点はハードウェア細かいレベル調整ができないので、モニターアウトのレベルも小さく、フィードバックを重要視するものは厳しいかも。 まあ、でも、ノートPCを使って、手軽に高音質録音したいならこれ以外の商品はないとおもうな。 タバコの箱の半分くらいの大きさだし\(^o^)／

非常に良い、ちょうどあなたが期待するもの。 これは、Amazonの方針は、日本、悲しい人を除いて、他の言語には声を許可しないようGoogle翻訳です。

コンパクトで出先で録音するのに重宝します、楽器等の録音でデモレベルなら問題無し。ボーカルなどはポップノイズが入るのでウインドスクリーンが必要です。

Ich bin keine Tonexpertin, dies vorweg! Ich nutze es für Sprache, kann daher zu Musik- und Gesangsaufnahmen keine Wertung abgeben. Nun aber zur Wertung: Für den Preis ist dieses Produkt absolut empfehlenswert, der Klang müsste nicht mal nachbearbeitet werden, wenn man nicht gerade “Radio-pingelig“ ist. Ich verwende das Mikrofon für Voice - overs, Skype und dergleichen und bearbeite die Aufnahme mit Audacity. Es klingt auch auf voller Lautstärke ohne Nachbearbeitung gut und rauschfrei. Ich muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass ich einen Popschutz verwende. Alle 3 Aufnahme- Modi tun exakt was sie in der Beschreibung versprachen. Der Omni- Modus wurde von mir über Skype getestet. Meine Gesprächspartner hörten mich “super klar und deutlich, als würdest du vorm Mikro sitzen“, dabei stand ich zu Testzwecken 7 bis 10 Meter entfernt. Die anderen zwei Modi nutze ich aber öfter. Dazu kann ich nur sagen: top! Wen es allerdings stört, dass man manchmal seine Atmung hören kann, der könnte enttäuscht sein. Es kommt ja immer darauf an, für welche Zwecke man ein Mikrofon einsetzen möchte. Nichtsdestotrotz haben mich die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten dieses Gerätes beeindruckt. Es klingt in jedem Modus super, jeder Modus macht was er soll. Es ist transportabel, klein und kompakt. Man kann es aber auch auf einem Pop-schutz befestigen. Echte Radioqualität hat es für den Preis aber logischerweise nicht, dennoch klingt es für ungeübte Ohren wundervoll. Die Verarbeitung ist absolut anständig: alles besteht aus schwerem, stabilen Metall. Ich wundere mich jedesmal erneut, wie schwer dieses kleine Ding doch ist. Die Klemme ist so gut gebaut, die bekommt man so schnell nicht kaputt. Und wenn sie klemmt, klemmt sie bombenfest, fast schon zu fest. Man könnte damit sicherlich ein Gummibärchen komplett platt quetschen! Wenn man sich da drin den Finger einklemmt, leidet man Schmerzen! Ein Nachteil ist allerdings, dass sich das Mikro nicht abschalten lässt, daher baue ich alles immer neu auf und packe es anschließend wieder ein. Für überspontane Skype- Anrufe in letzter Sekunde ist es daher nichts. Ein zweiter Nachteil ist der, dass in das mitgelieferte Täschchen nur das Mikrofon, nicht aber das Kabel reingepasst. Man braucht daher eine extra Tasche bzw. Aufbewahrung für das gesamte Equipment. FAZIT: Ich glaube, dies ist nicht nur eines der besten Usb- Mikrofone in der Größe, sondern auch in der Preisklasse. Generell glaube ich, es ist eines der Besten in der Preisklasse, ob Usb oder nicht. Es ist sein Geld nicht nur wert, es ist fast schon billig, wenn man die Vielfältigkeit diesen winzigen Teils bedenkt. Noch dazu hat es auf dem Pc und dem Smartphone plug & play! Ich kann es absolut empfehlen, zumindest für Sprache!

Dopo mille calcoli, ho comprato questo microfono e devo dire che la scelta finale l’ho azzeccata in pieno. Lo consiglio senza alcun dubbio. POSITIVO: 1) Marca di grande qualità 2) Dimensione e peso ridottissimi (sta nel palmo della mia mano, che già è piccola di suo), quindi portatile e non solo da tavolo 3) Tre differenti settaggi di direzionalità dell’audio, pertanto non è solo omnidirezionale, ma puoi escludere il retro del microfono praticamente, oppure no. 4) Cosa per me fondamentale: È compatibile con iPhone e smartphone, cioè se volessi, compro un adattatore e lo collego direttamente al cellulare senza bisogno di alimentazione esterna tramite hub (cosa che serve ad altri microfoni) 5) La pinza fa da custodia per il microfono quando è chiuso, ma ha anche dei piedini sotto e funge da base d’appoggio del microfono quando si vuole usarlo mettendo sul tavolo, ma inoltre la stessa pinza serve a posizionare il microfono sopra il video del proprio laptop. Come dire: progettato benissimo. 6) Audio eccellente, senza alcun fruscio di sottofondo. Driver che si istalla benissimo in automatico e senza aver dato il minimo problema. 7) Cavo usb ben lungo e non come spesso accade... supercorto. Questo permette di collegarlo senza problemi anche a un PC tower, per capirci, e non solo a un portatile. 8) La custodia con cerniera in dotazione è strabella (vedi foto) 9) Confezione impeccabile, idem le istruzioni (solo in inglese). 10) Possibilità di collegare al microfono anche le cuffie (unica cosa che non ho provato e che al momento non mi serve). 11) Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo se paragonato a microfoni che costano 4 o 5 volte tanto, senza offrire 4 o 5 volte la qualità di questo. NEGATIVO: Niente di niente!

UPDATE June 15: I've had this mic for over 3 years now and it's still going just as strong as the day I bought it. IF it ever breaks, I've already made up my mind to buy another just like it. Couldn't be happier with it. Original Review: I was sick of dealing with poor microphones from headsets and all the hubbub of headphone microphones and I simply do not trust logitech or many other big-brand companies to produce long-lasting quality microphones that stand alone on a desk. I then found the Samson Go Mic and thought it might be the best solution for my needs. I was definitely pleased to finally do some of my own testing and find out that it was all they said it is and more. My uses for this mic include voip applications like skype, mumble, ventrillo, and others, as well as for blog posts and even amateur voice recording. I also wanted something better than my laptop's mic to record lectures for class. Everything comes through crystal clear on this mic even at low volumes. For my voip applications, I actually let it sit behind my keyboard but directly in front of my screen. In normal cardioid mode, it picks up my voice perfectly. I can even whisper very quietly and it comes through on the other end loud and clear. I never have problems with people saying they cannot understand me no matter how low I'm talking. This is also great for me since I often like to chat late at night when my girlfriend sleeps in the next room. I'm no longer yelling and waking her up at night because I'm confident other people can hear me even with my mic so far away. For lectures, I switch to omni mode and it produces wonderful results. It's like having a third ear that records directly on to my computer. I also love how portable it is as I can just slip it into either my laptop bag or pocket without an issue at the end of class. The only complaint I might have is that I find the cord actually to be too long as I'm either plugging the usb cable into my keyboard's usb port or laptop's on my desk and the extra length is just wound up in a wad in its original twist-tie it came with, simply adding more bulk when it doesn't need to. Other people may need the extra length though, so this is somewhat of a non-issue. Lastly, the stand is a fairly heavy metal that has more than enough weight to hold the mic and is a pretty good mechanism for doing so. I simply wish the clip opened further to attach to bulkier monitors. Overall, I love this mic and I'm very happy I went with this one over one of the blue competitors I've been seeing on sale lately. Its cardioid mode is excellent and the omni mode is great for recording lectures and conversations alike. I just wish more people had this mic so they'd all be as easy to understand on my end as I am on theirs. I would recommend this mic to anyone who doesn't need super-high quality, studio grade equipment for professional recording as it does a great job of picking up voices and is very well-built and portable. Seriously: get this mic - it's more than worth the 40 clams you'll pay for it. UPDATE: Still loving this mic, and have yet to have many problems with it, except for maybe one or two, which I list below. The mic actually picks up on too much sometimes, so you have to be careful with it somewhat. Specifically, I had originally positioned this mic in front of my keyboard thinking it needed to be that close to me to pick up well. When I was on skype however typing on the keyboard, people would complain that my keyboard sounded like it was being pounded by the hammer of Thor. Easy fix though: I simply moved it just above my monitor and nobody has complained since. The only other thing with this mic I might complain about is that it picks up GSM interference somewhat badly. I've had my phone sitting on my desk in skype and gotten a call only to hear people on the other end screech in horror that my mic was beeping and buzzing out of control. I've found that using better shielded cable has helped (and attaching one of those little circular magnets to that as well) but the problem still somewhat persists sometimes. This is only a GSM problem though from what I understand, and so shouldn't affect people on verizon/sprint, and also fairly common in almost all mics of this size or larger. Still, these incidences are rare and correctable, but something to be conscience of. I would still like to say that this is the best mic I've ever used and am extremely happy with my purchase. I still only wish a few of my friends online had one!

this mic sounds better than my $120 mic and its cheap.

I'm so glad I purchased this microphone. I read some reviews that said building quality looked cheap, but I completely disagree. The microphone is heavier than I expected, and the materials are nice to the touch. The sound quality is good for my use (Zoom calls and recordings), I haven't had complaints of external noise bleeding through the microphone. I do use the cardioid setting only and have never used the other settings. The travel pouch is only for the microphone, not the cable. Cable is long enough. Just plug and play, no setup needed. Spending over $60 CAD seemed a little steep, but I think it's a good price for the overall quality of the mic. I don't regret buying it. Only complaint, product registration for Samson is only available in the US when you buy from Amazon.
