Samson Audio G-Track

Samson’s G-Track is the latest entrant in an ever-growing line-up of USB microphones. Huw Price plugs in...

Price: £129.00
Manufacturer: Samson Audio
Website: http://www.samsontech.com


You can be forgiven for overlooking this microphone’s hidden talents at first glance. It looks, to all intents and purposes, like a very well-made budget condenser, but look a little closer and you’ll see a USB socket on the bottom rather than an XLR socket. 

Score: 6
