Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Samson G Track studio condenser. The G Track
features a large, 19mm, ultra thin diaphragm capsule with an onboard high quality
Analog-to-Digital converter and USB output. Plus, the G Track features a built-in audio
interface with headphone output allowing you to connect your electric guitar and bass,
keyboards, drum machines, MP3 players and just about any other signal source. The G
Track’s Input selector switch lets you choose between Mic/Inst input, so you can record
electric guitar and vocals in one take, or Stereo Line Input to record left and right signals
from stereo devices. The onboard mixer allows you set clean signals for recording by
providing Instrument and Mic input level controls, plus a Peak LED to help you set a
hot level without clipping. In addition, the G Track employs a clever monitoring system
allowing you to choose a variety of playback options for headphones or monitors with
zero latency monitoring of the input signals. Using the Direct Monitor switch, you can
select CPU to hear only the computer, Direct Mono to hear the mic and guitar input in
both sides of the phones, or Direct Stereo for keeping the left and right image while
using the line inputs. You get everything you need to get started recording on your
computer including USB, guitar, headphone extension and stereo line input cables,
so you can connect to just about any instrument or audio device. You will also find a
convenient swivel mount and desk stand included in the package. The G Track is perfect
for recording your music or any acoustic audio source on your favorite DAW (Digital Audio
Workstation). Just plug in the supplied USB cable, launch your DAW and start recording.
The G Track faithfully reproduces a variety of sound sources including vocals, acoustic
string and wind instruments, percussion, and overhead cymbals, to name a few. The
extended frequency and fast transient response ensures an accurate reproduction with
linear characteristics from bottom to top. Whether you’re recording your latest song idea,
a podcast, or your band’s next big hit, the G Track is the simplest and most comprehensive
solution for high quality recording on a Mac or PC. Just plug it in and start creating!
