This Studio GT Pro Package from Samson Tech contains almost everything you need to get started recording your projects: two active studio monitors with a built-in USB interface, a C01 large-diaphragm condenser microphone, a copy of Sonar's Cakewalk LE Production Software for Mac or Windows computer, a desktop stand, and XLR, speaker, and USB cables. Using all this technology, you can record directly into your monitors and mix/produce the ensuing results in Cakewalk.
The monitors feature 4.25 copolymer woofers, 1" silk dome tweeters, 1/8" headphone jacks, and combination mic/instrument/line inputs. Whilst recording, you can utilise their no-latency technology to eliminate the echoes that can disruptively influence performances. The microphone sports a smooth, flat frequency response and a gold-plated XLR connection point; as such, it's suitable for vocals.
With 16-bit recording at 44.1 or 48 kHz, and 24-bit monitoring at sample rates up to 192 kHz, this system is a suitable entry point for those who want to learn and practice the art of recording, mixing, and mastering on their own.
The C01 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone from Samson is a large diaphragm condenser microphone well-suited to project studio recording. It features high SPL handling like a dynamic microphone, while retaining the clarity of a condenser microphone.
The C01's 19mm diaphragm achieves high sensitivity with a flat frequency response. Its hyper-cardioid polar pattern maximises off-axis signal rejection, focusing on sound directly in front of the microphone. The C01 is built rugged with an all-metal housing and grille, while the output stage features a gold-plated XLR connection. The C01 requires Phantom power.
The Studio GT active studio monitors from Samson provide high-quality audio in a compact package. Ideal for use with a DAW, the monitors feature a USB audio connection for terrific convenience when working with a computer. Each cabinet houses a magnetically-shielded 4.25" woofer and a 1" silk dome tweeter to provide rich, clear audio with a wide frequency response. Internal amplifiers provide 2 x 20W of output for strong performance with low distortion.
The monitors provide excellent connectivity options with 2 XLR/TRS inputs, as well as stereo RCA and 3.5mm Aux inputs. For easy monitoring, 2 standard 3.5mm stereo headphone jacks with independent volume control are provided. Also included is a copy of Cakewalk Sonar LE music production software for high-level control over audio creation for Mac or PC.
