Samson’s USB Meteor Mic packs retro flair, $99 price tag

Blue Microphones’ Yeti Pro a ‘lil rich for your blood? Have a gander at Samson Technologies, who is also introducing a new USB microphone to usher in the year 2011. The company’s foldable USB mic — better known as the Meteor Mic — looks a lot like any number of retro mics you might find in an older recording studio, or any number of brand new ones designed to look just like the old ones we just mentioned. There’s also a stereo 1/8-inch headphone output for no-latency monitoring, not to mention a headphone volume control and a trio of legs to tinker with. There’s even a microphone mute switch for those who prefer to grumble while the boss blabbers on, and it’ll be out and about in Best Buy this April for $99. Demonstrative video is just past the break, if you really need to enlighten yourself further.
