Hauppauge, NY – February 28, 2011 – Samson’s new Meteor Mic, as well as a limited edition gold-plated model exclusive to Best Buy, will be available in Best Buy Musical Instrument Stores and on bestbuy.com/migear on April 15, 2011. Best Buy will accept preorders beginning February 28, 2011. Meteor Mic is a USB studio condenser microphone that’s perfect for recording music in your home studio and is also ideal for Skype, iChat or voice recognition software.

As an exclusive Best Buy offer, 400 units of a limited edition version will be produced and available on April 15th. Each microphone will feature jewelry grade, 22k gold-plating that is four microns thick and will be packaged in a numbered, mahogany wood case that includes a high-quality, braided, gold-flashed USB cable.

Just like its chrome-plated twin, the limited edition Meteor Mic features a 25mm large condenser element and all-metal body. Its unique, fold-back leg design allows for optimal positioning for any recording application from acoustic guitars and vocals to speech. Meteor Mic also has an 1/8-inch stereo headphone output for no latency monitoring, as well as a volume control. A microphone mute switch gives you audio privacy while video conferencing.

No drivers are required for either model, so you can start recording with Meteor Mic right out of its box. Meteor Mic can be connected directly to any computer and is compatible with most computer-based digital audio recording software.

“Meteor Mic’s compact design is unique, but don’t let its size fool you,” says James Tsaptsinos, VP Sales. “With our largest condenser, everyone will be amazed by the audio quality of their recordings.”
