Connecting multiple devices to your Samson G-Track Pro can enhance your recording and streaming experience. Whether you’re switching between a computer, smartphone, or other audio sources, understanding the connection options ensures seamless performance.
Understanding the Input and Output Options
The Samson G-Track Pro features several input and output ports that allow you to connect multiple devices. Familiarity with these ports helps you set up your workspace efficiently.
- USB Port: Connects directly to your computer for digital audio transfer.
- Headphone Jack: For monitoring audio output.

Connecting to a Computer
The most straightforward connection is via USB. Plug the G-Track Pro into your computer’s USB port using the included cable. Ensure your computer recognizes the device, and select it as your input and output device in your audio settings.
Using Multiple Devices with a Computer
If you want to connect additional devices, such as a smartphone or mixer, you can use an audio interface or mixer that supports multiple inputs. Connect the G-Track Pro via USB, and then connect other devices through the interface’s inputs.
Connecting a Smartphone or External Devices
To connect your smartphone or other external audio sources, use the instrument/line input. You may need an appropriate cable, such as a 3.5mm to 1/4″ adapter, depending on your device’s output.
For real-time monitoring, connect your headphones to the headphone jack. Adjust the gain and volume controls on the G-Track Pro to optimize audio levels.
Using an Audio Mixer for Multiple Devices
An audio mixer allows you to combine signals from multiple devices. Connect each device to a different input on the mixer, then connect the mixer output to the G-Track Pro’s instrument/line input.
This setup enables you to switch between devices easily and control their levels independently.
Additional Tips for Seamless Connection
- Use high-quality cables to prevent signal loss or noise.
- Configure your device settings for optimal audio quality.
- Ensure your computer’s audio settings recognize the G-Track Pro as the default device.
