Firemall via Amazon is offering the Samson Meteorite USB Condenser Microphone in black for $39.99, but code EQNDRAIF will drop your total down to $29.99. It ships free for Prime members or in orders over $35. That’s 25% below the original listing, and the best price we can find by $10. Today’s deal is just for the black model, but as a price comparison, both the black and silver options still generally sell for $40 at most retailers.
While you’re likely to get a slightly better recording from the comparable Blue Microphone Snowballs, they are a little more pricey and very rarely dip down this low (almost never).
The Meteorite is USB bus powered and features 14mm diaphragm, a cardioid pickup pattern and a 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz recording resolution. Rated 4.3/5 stars from over 110 Amazon customers.
