Use Cases

Setup Notes
Installation
To set up the Samson C01, attach the included swivel stand mount to a compatible microphone stand. Connect the microphone to your audio interface or mixing console using a standard XLR cable. Because this is a condenser microphone, you must engage the 48V phantom power on your interface or preamp to power the internal circuitry; the onboard LED will illuminate once power is received.
