Questions & Answers

Ron A : Would this be able to connect to a karaoke machine and how well would it work for vocals?NATARAJAN A : It is good for vocals and you can cannot connect to a karaoke machine as this is a condenser mic. As it is sensitive it may pick up other noises. This is mainly for recording vocals in a home studio or office. If you want a mic for karaoke machine, try any dynamic mic 🎤ANDREW R : Does require power via USB to operate. Compatibility would likely vary depending on the specific/make model device you're attempting to use.
Shopper : Does it have Manual switch OR Auto-switch from USB & 3.5 Phono outputs?HAENGHUN S : I want to buy this. Before buying, I want to know the weight of this item. Not one of the MIC I want to know the weight of the box unopened.DUY-QUOC L : It has a switch that picks from Mono, Stereo, CPU. to output to a headphone. Mono, and stereo will output whatever the samson mic is picking up, mono is just the mic, stereo is the mic on left and the line in on right. CPU will output the audio from your PC out to your headphone.LEROY C : I think the switch on the left (INST/MIC LINE) is what you are asking about. Check the Owners Manual to be sure. It's pretty descriptive in terms of ports and functions. Google GM1U_OM_5L_v1.pdf to locate the manual online.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?HENRY T : social website Slickdeals shows this as a great value purchaseJOHN A : I bought one of these about a month ago and I absolutely love it. I host a radio show and this is professional grade. Makes you sound GREAT! The cardiod directional patter is remarkable! Just buy it.

Works, Sturdy, Beautiful

My first time buying a professional like microphone. Seems to work really well. It's plug and play if you just want it for the most basic use. Audio and product quality is great.

Great Mic

I have been plagued with mic issues for the last few years and I finally decided it was time to buy something with more reliability. I was hesitant with purchasing this at first but after reading some reviews; i decided it was time to bite the bullet and purchase this thing. I can say i do not regret it at all. No one ever complains about how my mic sounds anymore and setting this thing up and using it was a simple and easy. I would highly recommend this mic for anyone that uses voice communications or records videos. Great product for a great price. 10/10

Good quality, but a little sensitive

I bought this microphone to talk to my friends over comms when we play games together. It works well and they say I come in very clearly. The only problem is that it picks up some background noise, but toggle mute works fine for that. Your friends may hear your keyboard, especially if you have mechanical blue keys.

Complicated usb mic

Maybe I just made the wrong purchase. But I'm having trouble with this USB microphone. When I first used Samsun G-track with included software. It worked great. For now I can't seem to get it to work at all. Feels like a hassle trying to use this. It looks and feels like a great microphone and when it works it seems to work fabulous. But not for me.

Amazing and affordable mic

I use this mic for online gaming and for making videos of my gameplay. This microphone blew away my expectations! The very first thing my friends asked when I joined the discord server was if I got a new mic. They all were impressed by the voice quality. I'm very glad I made this purchase. I have never owned a piece of professional grade audio equipment until now, and setting up was very easy. It was as simple as plug and play.

Voice Recognition

Absolutely amazing mic. It has changed the way I am able to dictate into my medical charts. Seamless, doesn't miss a word into Dragon, and it has worked so well that the IT department has purchased the same mic to field test it. If it passes, it will open for 1800+ physicians to use on their electronic medical record system. Only downside is that it continues to be muted when I hit the stop button on Dragon. We have not found a solution yet, but will continue to work on this. Minor blip in an otherwise fantastic purchase!

All-in-one mic!

I love this mic. I use it to record both my guitar and voice simultaneously. I love that it has the option to monitor while you record directly from the mic. It's also cool that you can control volumes from the mic.

Recording voice is either very high or very low

Easy to assemble. However, the mic volume cannot not be adjusted to a level I want and hence resulting either very high or very low recording voice. Not recommended to buy.

• Compatible with most computer-based digital audio workstation software
• Supercardioid pickup pattern
• Smooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz-16kHz

The unit works brilliantly with any DAW software program and even comes with Cakewalk's Sonar LE digital audio workstation software. For additional adaptability and convenience, G-Track is bundled with a heavy-duty mic stand, as well as Audio I/O and USB cables.

Though ideal for the traveling musician or the project studio, G-Track's versatile functionality can be applied to create ideal solutions for anyone who records audio, particularly podcasters, educators and business professionals.

Record Vocals and Instruments at Once
For musicians, the convergence of computer and audio technologies has established the home/mobile studio as a credible alternative to the traditional recording facility. G-Track allows you to record vocals like a standard USB mic or two mono instruments through the line/instrument input or a mix of one mono instrument and vocal. Now singer/songwriters can directly record vocals and instruments quickly and easily with one device, making G-Track a must have for any songwriter's home studio. And its ease of use and portability allows you to take it anywhere inspiration may strike you.

Perfect Your Podcasts
As podcasting has evolved, a need for impeccable communication quality and production convenience has been established. Proven in satisfying these criteria, the all-in-one G-Track USB condenser microphone is a podcaster's dream come true. Given a simple USB connection straight into your Mac or PC computer, it provides your podcasts with unparalleled performance in audio recording, as well as extreme ease of data mixing, transfer and broadcast. Use the included desktop stand to provide your broadcast studio with a more professional aesthetic. With G-Track affordable for all, the voices of millions of web journalists are empowered to establish a discernable identity in the congested world of podcasting.

Gets an A+ for Adaptability
With computer-based technology becoming a vital part of education, G-Track is a must among students, professors and administrators. In addition to podcasting, G-Track can elevate the educational values of Skype, VoIP and screen capture-type software programs like Camtasia Studio and NaturallySpeaking. These applications, all of which can be used to teach, study, and/or catalogue academic materials in-person or from afar, are dependent upon the superior degree of audio capture delivered by G-Track. So, whether you're teaching an online course, reviewing a past lecture or studying for a big exam, G-Track helps to make education a more accessible and interactive experience.

G-Track Means Business
G-Track provides answers for those business professionals in need of revitalizing their corporate communications. Regardless of the specific application (web design, multimedia presentations, company meetings, corporate events, etc.), G-Track's features allow for the easy, cost-effective recording of studio-quality audio clips to be used to invoke interest among internal stakeholders or event attendees.

Add It On
Samson offers a collection of pro-level accessories (all sold separately) that can be used to further enhance the recording experience of the G-Track USB condenser microphone, including the PS01 microphone pop filter and the SP04 optical shockmount. The PS01's nylon mesh screen will reduce vocal popping and sibilance from affecting the performance of your G-Track. It also comes equipped with a universal mic stand mounting bracket and a flexible metal gooseneck for convenient placement. Lastly, the SP04 provides G-Track with a reliable shockmount system to absorb unwanted vibrations and disturbances.
