You don’t quite get the depth you’d expect from a studio vocal mic, but the lack of deliberate coloration makes the mic very versatile. Spoken-word tests produced very clean and well-balanced results that belied the size of the mic, but to put it in context I’d say the sound quality was comparable to what you’d expect from a decent-quality pocket MP3 recorder with on-board mics. Selection of polar pattern happens via 3-way switch on mic body.

The onboard A/D-D/A converter operates at 16-bit, 44.1kHz. The manufacturer cites two diaphragm thicknesses: 4 microns for Cardioid, and 2 microns for Omni.

The mic appears to use a pair of 10mm electret capsules. The microphone itself is approximately the size of a USB thumb drive, but it is permanently attached with a swivel mount to a black bracket that clips to a laptop screen. The Samson Go Mic is a miniature dual-pattern condenser microphone, intended for podcasting, Skype, and portable use.
