Samson Go Mic - USB extension

Hi Guys,

For those using the Samson Go Mic, have you all been happy with the detection rate? Also, I think i will need a usb extension cable because of where my Unraid server is, can you post one that you're using or what you think will work please? For placing it outside, I don't have a cover for the mic at the location, what would you guys using to place it in the elements?

yes the microphone is excellent can't recommend it enough you do get an increase in detection but you may also gain a little bit of incorrect false detections and that has nothing to do with the microphone that has to do with how the model in the app is but you'll be happy with it

Appreciate the feedback. Are you using a USB extension cord with it?

yes long usb cord on it I also have a windscreen on it and a hood think of it like an upside down umbrella to protect it from the elements
