Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Records mic plus 1/4-inch instrument input as two independent channels at once
  • ✓ Three switchable polar patterns: cardioid, bi-directional, omnidirectional
  • ✓ True 24-bit/96kHz capture, not upsampled 16-bit/48kHz like cheaper USB mics
  • ✓ 120dB max SPL handles loud guitar amps and close-mic'd vocals

Cons

  • ✗ Cardioid-only rivals often sound tighter; multi-pattern adds off-axis pickup
  • ✗ Heavy desk stand still transmits keyboard and desk thumps without a shock mount
  • ✗ No XLR output, so it cannot move to an audio interface later
  • ✗ Headphone amp rated 85mW at 32 ohms may underdrive high-impedance studio cans

Manufacturer description

The SAMSON G-Track Pro is a USB condenser microphone with a built-in audio interface, so you can record a vocal and an instrument as two independent channels at the same time without a separate mixer. Its dual 25mm back electret condenser capsules capture 24-bit/96kHz audio across a 50Hz-20kHz frequency response, and you can switch between cardioid, bi-directional, and omnidirectional polar patterns depending on whether you are tracking a solo podcast, a two-person interview, or a room full of players. A 1/4-inch instrument input with 1M-ohm impedance takes a guitar or keyboard directly…

SAMSON's streaming gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I record my guitar and my voice at the same time?

Yes. The G-Track Pro has a 1/4-inch instrument input with 1M-ohm impedance and an onboard mixer that records the microphone and the instrument as two independent channels in one pass.

Does the SAMSON G-Track Pro need phantom power or an audio interface?

No. The audio interface is built into the microphone and it connects over USB with plug-and-play operation, so there is no external interface or phantom power supply to buy.

What polar patterns does it support?

Three: cardioid (unidirectional) for solo voice, bi-directional for a two-person interview across the desk, and omnidirectional to capture a whole room. Sensitivity stays at +6dB FS/PA in every pattern.

What recording quality does it actually capture?

Up to 24-bit at 96kHz, selectable down to 16-bit, using dual 25mm back electret condenser capsules with 3-micron diaphragms and a 50Hz-20kHz frequency response.

Can I monitor through headphones without latency?

Yes. The 3.5mm headphone output runs off a 16-ohm, 85mW at 32 ohms amp with a front-panel mixer control to blend the direct mic signal against computer playback.
