Comments: If you don't mind the need to use an appropriate microphone stand (see below) this is an extraordinarily high quality desktop or hand-held microphone for use with speech recognition software. It will provide superb results and is very very noise canceling. We have been amazed at the ability to successfully use this microphone a full 12 inches away from our mouth and get great speech recognition results even with music playing from our desktop speakers.
We recommend using it with a monaural external sound adapter, such as the Andrea USB adapter, but using an appropriate XLR to 1/8 inch adapter (see below), it can also be plugged directly into your PC. Be sure to order the XLR to 1/8 inch male adapter (below) and consider the foam wind screen. Shipping weight about 3 lbs.

Accessories for the Q7
 WS1 Foam Windscreen
This is the Samson WS1 foam windscreen which simultaneously protects your microphone element from moisture coming from your mouth and also reduces "popping" noises from your air movement.
Comments: this is an optional item for use with the Q7 and we don't believe this substantially improves performance of the microphone with speech recognition software.

Andrea USB Adapter
This is a sound adapter to use when you have concerns about whether your computer's internal sound card is adequate for the task. When using this adapter the analog to digital conversion occurs outside of your computer and the digital signal enters your computer through a USB slot.
Comments: This is a simple monaural external USB adapter and works perfectly as an interface between the Samson Q7 and your PC.

 MB1 Mini Microphone Boom Stand
Although designed for mounting a microphone in front of a drum set or speaker for stage entertainers, this is a perfect microphone stand for use of the Q7 on your desk. The base has a diameter of about 10 inches and weighs 6 lbs. The boom has a practical length of about 18-20 inches. If you add to this the length of the microphone, you can easily place the center point of the base 24 inches away from the end of the microphone. This set-up is rugged and includes a microphone clip.
Comments: This is the ideal stand if you have sufficient real estate on your desk and don't want it mounted on the floor (using MK5 shown below). The advantage of this set-up is the long boom arm which allows you to place the base well out of your way.
MSRP: $44.99
