Universal USB studio microphone for home recording

The Samson Meteor Mic is a USB studio condenser microphone built around a 25mm diaphragm capsule. It delivers 16-bit resolution at 44.1/48kHz sample rates with a smooth frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz. The cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound in front of the microphone while reducing ambient noise. It suits home studios, voice recognition, and video conferencing.

Driver-free setup with fold-back legs and stand

The microphone connects via USB without requiring driver installation on supported operating systems. Integrated fold-back legs adjust for optimal positioning on a desktop and fold flat for transport. A built-in stand adapter allows mounting on a boom or desktop stand. A mute switch provides instant audio privacy during calls.

Zero-latency monitoring and durable chrome finish

A 1/8" stereo headphone output with a dedicated level knob enables real-time monitoring without perceptible delay. The zinc die-cast body features a chrome-plated finish for durability. The large diaphragm condenser design maintains consistent sensitivity during extended recording sessions. It is compatible with iPad when used with Apple's Lightning USB Camera Adapter.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Meteor Mic is capturing audio at 44.1 or 48 kHz after I plug it in?

Open your computer's sound control panel or recording software and verify the sample rate is set to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz; the microphone supports both natively.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately to use the Meteor Mic with an iPad?

The box includes the Meteor Mic with integrated fold-back legs, a USB cable and a mic-stand adapter; for iPad use you must purchase Apple's Lightning USB Camera Adapter separately.

Which version of the Meteor Mic should I choose for studio-quality voice recording?

There is only one version — the Meteor Mic with a 25 mm diaphragm, cardioid pattern, 16-bit 44.1/48 kHz resolution and a 1/8" headphone output for zero-latency monitoring.
