Beginning from extremely humble
roots over twenty years ago as a two-man operation designing wireless audio
systems, Samson Technologies Corporation has become an industry leader,
designing and producing over 350 products by three distinct brands, Samson,
Hartke and Zoom, which are distributed and sold in over 106 countries
throughout the world. Samson’s rapid growth and success should be no surprise
as they have produced a number of industry-changing products, all while
ensuring that their products have maximum crossover appeal between the professional
audio and music population, and the general public. And unlike their
competitors, they’ve developed some remarkable technical breakthroughs in
wireless such as dbx noise reduction, synthesized wireless with selectable
frequencies, the first microprocessor-controlled true diversity (dual receiver)
designs and cost-effective ultra high frequency (UHF) wireless for use in live
sound applications. Along with those developments, Samson can proudly claim
that they are the first company to introduce a micro-transmitter wireless
microphone system that doesn’t require a belt pack unit – the Airline. Plus
with the acquisitions of Zoom and Hartke, Samson distributes Hartke amplifiers
and guitars, and Zoom effects pedals and processors.
With the increased development of their
popular wireless systems, Samson has developed several microphones for many
varied applications. Their QV vocal headset was specifically designed to allow
drummers, keyboardists, musicians and other performers completely hands-free
vocals without affecting their techniques while ensuring a clear sound in which
every word can be heard – even at high volumes. The VR88 is the first of an
extremely limited production of hand-crafted velocity ribbon microphones.
Samson proudly boasts that the VR88 microphone is the result of more than five years of
engineering research and development to produce the exact, smooth and
irresistible sound of the velocity ribbon microphones of the 1940s. Also,
Samson has developed a line of plug and play USB connectable microphones and
mixer units which are perfect for the podcaster, aspiring singer/songwriter and
other musicians.
To find out where the individual consumer
can purchase Samson microphones, Samson suggests contacting their sales
representatives who can inform you of all the authorized Samson dealers in your
local area. Samson also offers some of their products for purchase through
their website – mainly parts and accessories such as cases, batteries, power
adapters and the like. And like most websites with online purchasing, they
accept the major credit cards – MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American
Express. Of course, American consumers should be aware that Samson has strict
shipping restrictions for domestic packages with destinations in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
