Installing the C01U

Installing the C01U is a simple procedure that takes just a few minutes. Since the

C01U is USB compliant, you can use either a MAC or PC, connect the included USB

cable and plug and play. You will be able to control your C01U using the standard

audio interface controls in the MAC or Windows operating system. You will find

detailed instructions on setting up with MAC OS and Windows in the following sec-

tions of this manual.

Since it is possible to adjust the level of the signal from the operating system prefer-

ences, and in your recording software, it's a good idea to be familiar with these con-

trols in the MAC or Windows operating system. Therefore, we recommend that you

follow the section Getting Started with Windows 7 & Vista, Windows XP, or Getting

Started with MAC OS X.

The following example is for setting up the

C01U in MAC OS X .

1. Plug in microphone. The LED will light

to indicate it is receiving USB power.

The MAC will recognize the USB audio

device and automatically install a

universal driver.

2. To select the C01U as the comput-

ers audio input, open the System

Preferences from the dock or the main

Apple Menu (figure 1).

3. Next open the Sound preference

(figure 2).

4. Now, click in the Input tab and select

SAMSON C01U (figure 3).

5. To set the gain of the microphone,

adjust the Input volume slider at the

bottom of the Sound dialog box.

At this point you can begin using your

microphone with most any audio re-

cording software, but you need to select

it as an input device within the DAW.

When selecting the input just look for

and select the SAMSON C01U. Figure 2
