USB/iOS Broadcast Microphone
Satellite is a broadcast-quality USB/iOS microphone designed to capture high-definition audio on your computer, iPhone, or iPad. An essential part of any streamer, podcaster, or content creator's recording setup, Satellite offers plug-and-play operation, 24-bit/96kHz audio, three selectable pickup patterns, and a folding leg design in a highly portable package.
Encapsulate the Sound
Satellite features two premium 16mm condenser capsules that capture vocal warmth and clarity with a smooth, accurate frequency response. An internal shockmount isolates the capsules from the microphone body, minimizing handling noise, vibration, and table rumble.
Polar Power
Offering three selectable pickup patterns for handling a variety of recording applications. The cardioid setting is perfect for streaming, vocal performances, single host podcasts, or Skype. For conference calls or multi-person interviews where many people are around a table, select the omnidirectional setting. The figure-8 (bidirectional) setting is great for 2-person interviews.
Zero Latency
With zero-latency direct monitoring through its 1/8" (3.5 mm) headphone jack, Satellite creates no delay between the audio you record and the audio you hear. Its Monitor switch lets you turn off direct monitoring while still hearing audio from your computer.
Mission: Broadcast
Take complete control of your recordings with the Samson Satellite Broadcast Microphone. With plug and play compatibility with Mac, Windows, Chromebooks, and iOS devices, the Satellite is perfect for content creators on the go and those working from home.
