Samson's Meteor has a 1/8th inch socket and a one-inch diaphragmThe Samson Meteor mic, released today, offers lucky buyers fold-back legs and the largest diaphragm available. If this sounds to you like a great way for a frustrated musician to spend a weekend alone than you are dead right. And if you’re chuckling right now, you have a filthy mind.
If the gun from Portal had been made in the 1950s, it would look like the Meteor. It’s a chrome and mesh lozenge which stands stout on its stocky “fold-back” legs and stares at you with a single menacing blue eye. Inside the Dalek-like body is a cardioid-pattern mic which sends a 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz output to the USB port of your choice (it will work with the iPad via the camera connection kit).
If our lone musician starts to long for a little pillow-talk, he can flip the Meteor over and jack into the 1/8 inch hole at the back. This gives no-latency headphone monitoring, and the volume can be adjusted via a front-mounted knob.
There’s also a mic-mute switch (should the neighbors start to complain), a stand adapter for when you finally build up the confidence to go out in public and — finally — grippy rubber feet to stop the mic from sliding away from you.
The Samson Meteor is available now, for just $100, or cheaper than a date with a real girl.
