Following on the success of the C01U, Samson is proud to introduce the C03U, multi-pattern USB studio condenser microphone. Based on the extremely popular C03 studio condenser, the C03U delivers the same pristine audio quality and enhanced capabilities along with a high-quality A/D converter and USB output.

The C03U features dual 19mm internal shock mounted diaphragms with switchable omni, cardioid, and figure-8 pick-up patterns. Perfect for recording vocals or any acoustic instrument plus the selectable patterns make it ideal for a variety of specialized recording situations, like multiple vocalists, ambient room miking, and even a group of people around a conference table recording a Podcast.

The C03U works seamlessly on any computer running Mac OS X or Windows XP, and with most DAW software programs without having to install any extra software or drivers.

"Great microphone, easy to use!"
Value:
It does seem a bit more expensive than average for hobbyist level mics, but it is packed with features and very well made.

Sound:
I bought it to record live acoustic guitar and vocals, as well as synthesizer played through an amp,, all worked perfectly. Easy as plug in and go,,, low cutoff useful as well as multipattern settings useful,,, I think it's a fine mic, and very solidly constructed.

Support:
I didnt need support, so I don't know.

Samson C03U USB Mic Customer Review
Feature:
Simple, just plug and play and the drivers are all installed with volume adjustment under capture.

Quality:
Well the mircophone is quite senstive to loud sound but it just take some personal adjusting. A good software package for recording music will help you fine tune audio tracks.

Value:
I don't really see other mics in it's class as far as professional studio microphones.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use indeed.

Support:
Don't know, did not use it yet.

Overall:
I say go for it but a mic stand will be a good investment.
