Samson SAUB1 USB Boundary Microphone Omnidirectional 10 ft Cable 16 Bit 44.1 48 kHz

USB Boundary Microphone for Computer Recording

The Samson SAUB1 is a surface-mount condenser microphone with an omnidirectional pickup pattern and USB connectivity for direct recording to a computer. It is class compliant for plug-and-play operation on both Mac OS and Windows without driver installation. The low-profile design allows inconspicuous placement on conference tables, podiums or altars. It includes a 10-foot USB cable and Cakewalk Sonar LE digital audio workstation software.

Sustained Recording Behaviour

The microphone captures audio at 16-bit resolution with sample rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz suitable for extended sessions. Its solid zinc body and sturdy steel grill construction provide durability for permanent installation in conference rooms, houses of worship, courtrooms or classrooms. The omnidirectional pattern picks up sound evenly from all directions across a meeting space. Samson Sound Deck Noise Cancellation Software is available separately for enhanced clarity.

Upgrade Path and Fit

This USB boundary microphone replaces the need for separate audio interfaces or stand-mounted microphones in fixed-location recording scenarios. The jump is worth it when you require a permanent, low-profile solution that connects directly to a desktop or laptop for meetings, conferences or podcast creation. It is not suited for users who need a handheld or boom-mounted microphone for mobile or close-miked vocal performance.
