The 'Samson Go Mic' Targets Smartphone Videographers

— August 30, 2017 — Tech
The 'Samson Go Mic' is a portable microphone that is helping to expand the limits of audio-based entertainment. Until recently, the popular medium of podcasting was confined to sound-proofed spaces, with setups that would allow for the high-quality recording of lengthy conversations. This new microphone aims to eliminate those barriers, serving as the world's first portable recording system of its kind, which provides high-definition sound for one's smartphone or DSLR Camera. The small object can be clipped onto the back of your devices, offering enhanced quality while eliminating the need to purchase expensive and bulky equipment.

The Samson Go Mic makes audio recording more accessible to the masses, allowing a wider demographic to explore more creative endeavors while achieving professional results.
