The first time you use it, your Mac will recognize the device and automatically install a universal driver. Like the other, it includes a one year warranty. The surface is chrome, providing a sturdy foundation. It is quite small, less than three inches tall when sitting in the base, but has the look and quality of larger microphones. The microphone rests in a magnetic base and tilts and swivels as needed to achieve the best sound. It has an MSRP of $59.99 but is available from Amazon for $39.99. The second microphone is also from Samson. I really like this product and am using it frequently.

In addition to the Mac, it also works with iPads and iPhones (4S and later) using Apple’s Lightning USB Camera Adapter or Camera Connection Kit (30-pin). This little speaker is perfect for Skype, FaceTime, YouTube, Messages, voice recognition software, and more. Then just go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sound, and select the software as the input and output choice.

No drivers are needed, but users should download the free Samson Sound Deck Noise Cancellation Software ( Samson Sound Deck Software for Mac OS X (Basic)) which is quick and easy to install. The microphone rotates as needed to face the sound source.

It is small (1.75-in x 1.75-in) and weighs 1.1 ounces. It features noise cancellation technology and includes a one year warranty.
