Have cheap mikes advanced much since I got my AT-31's ?


Interesting to note that Samson has anounced a 1st
ever USB studio condenser microphone (C01U).
Sells for about $80.

It has been claimed by a user that these mics suffer from ADCs that
restrict the dynamic range of the mic, and make it appear to be noisy. I
don't know if the report is accurate or not.


Jesus, what do you want? It's got a microphone, a preamp, an ADC and a
computer interface for $80. At that price it's a miracle if it works at
all.
