Get started right away, as this mic works directly with your computer. No separate interface or preamp is required. As a bonus, the mic also works with iOS devices, provided you bring your own adapter to the party.

The microphone makes use of a highly directional supercardioid polar pattern to minimize off-axis sound. This polar pattern naturally, yet effectively tamps down room tone and focuses the audio capture on what's directly in front of the mic, so everyone can clearly hear your voice.

With its built-in 3.5mm jack, the mic allows you to monitor your audio right from the microphone itself without latency.

The mic records audio at sample rates and resolutions up to 16-bit / 48 kHz, giving you the broadcast standard for media playback.

With an included swivel mount, tripod stand, and USB cable, you can get up and running right away. Simply place the mic in the mount, attach the mount to the stand, and run the USB cable from mic into your computer.

Q: 10. How close do you have to be for it to pick up the sound? I need a mic for a classroom with remote instructor.

A: The Samson G-Track Pro USB Microphone is a condenser style microphone and it should be placed approximately 6 to 12 inches from the mouth for the best audio quality. If you need a microphone to pick up sound from several feet away, you can use a boundary microphone. If you are looking for a USB microphone, you can use models such as the MXL AC-404 Portable USB Boundary Conferencing Microphone (B&H # MXAC404), the Polsen Omnidirectional USB Boundary Microphone with Mute (B&H # POUSOB33), or the CAD U7 Omnidirectional USB Boundary Microphone (B&H # CAU7).
