There are two things I'm confused about-

1. I want a Samson one, and the mic says "Samson" so why does the title say "Carlo Robelli".

2. Why does it say "RS Only"

Any other suggestions about this mic would be great. I'm going to be using it for podcasting.

Answer 1

I think that the Carlo Robelli is a mistake. That's a company that makes guitars and other stringed instruments. As far as the "RS Only" again, I think that is a mistake also.

I have the analog version of this mic and I love it! Its not 100% studio quality that you would get with that particular type costing $800 or more but for the price, you get plenty of bang for the buck. I was on my way to a gig when I accidentally left my high-priced mic behind. So I stopped at a local music store and this Samson was the only one that they had in stock. The guy kept assuring me that I would like this mic and if I didn't, he would buy it back from me. I figured I would take it back anyway because I needed it just for that one event but after the session I was sold on it. I went back and bought 2 more the next day. Again, I wouldn't reccomend this mic for the really serious applications but for podcasting, I think its great.
