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.
For expanded control you can install the Samson C01U driver software which will give
you programmable Gain and the digital Input Meter so you can adjust the internal
digital microphone pre-amplifier to the correct level. You can also use the Low Cut
Filter to remove unwanted low frequency rumble. There's even a Phase switch so you
can invert the signal polarity when using multiple microphones.
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 XP (and 98) or Getting Started with
MAX OS X before installing the C01U software driver.
