# Sound-Filtering Computer Microphones Samson's Go Mic Connect is Being Introduced at CES 2016 By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-01-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-mic-connect References: [samsontech](http://www.samsontech.com/news/ces-2016-press-release-samson-go-mic-connect/) At Ces 2016, Samson is introducing the 'Go Mic Connect' as the newest member of its Go Mic family. In realizing a desire for portable communication products, Samson is growing its collection of portable USB microphones. The Go Mic Connect can be attached to a laptop or TV monitor, with a shapely design that keeps built-in webcams functional. The compact microphone makes use of the brand's Focused Pattern Technology, which enables the microphone to pick up on sounds only from a desired sound source, which can be selected within the Samson Sound Deck software to provide noise cancelling for external sounds. Since the microphone provides the ideal conditions for recording, even in a noisy environment, the USB microphone will serve as a great tool for podcasters and other content creators. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable USB Microphones:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more compact and versatile portable USB microphones with advanced noise-canceling technology for content creators and podcasters. - **Focused Pattern Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the implementation of focused pattern technology in various audio recording devices and communication products to enhance sound quality and noise cancellation. - **Noise-canceling Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply noise-canceling technology to a wide range of audio devices to improve sound performance in noisy environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative consumer electronics products incorporating portable USB microphones with advanced sound-filtering capabilities. - **Podcasting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop podcasting-specific equipment and services that utilize portable USB microphones with enhanced noise-canceling features. - **Audio Recording:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce advanced noise-canceling technology to the audio recording industry for improved sound quality in any recording environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simplified Smartphone External Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rode-videomic-go-ii.md) - [Compact Professional-Grade Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solum-voice-s.md) - [Content-Focused Condenser Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-technica-1.md) - [Internal Pop Filter Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at2040usb.md) - [Tech-Advanced Wireless Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-microphone1.md) - [Content Creator-Focused Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-content-creators.md) - [Broadcast-Ready Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-blue-sona-xlr.md) - [Custom-Tuned Recording Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avermedia-am350.md) - [Vlog-Focused Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-mic.md)
