My problem regarding my Samson wireless microphone for saxophone is that the clip broke and the microphone has now become totally useless. The microphone itself as well as the receiver work fine. I was wondering what the options were to resolving the problem. Thanks for your help.

If you can't locate one via a Samson dealer (try Amazon) the next best thing would be to go to a musical instrument store and buy a universal (butterfly) mic clip. These have one of 2 standard screw threads on the bottom (you can get an adapter for the other size if it doesn't come with both) and will fit most mic stands.
Because of the butterfly design they will take almost all microphones except the fattest ones - which need a soft rubber clip designed for 'radio mics'
Much of the plastic used on music stuff is ABS and one can SOMETIMES glue it with the black ABS plumbing glue from the home improvement stores. Try to build up a fillet with several coats.
I for instance repaired the music rack brackets for a Tyros keyboard that takes a lot of strain using this glue. Your must have reasonably good "fitup" of the break.
I'd recommend [email protected] or [email protected]. Applied microphone.com sells a universal clamp for their Wi5 wireless microphone system that works for brass, woodwinds and stringed instruments.
That's the way it's supposed to work. It's a mono microphone, so there's only one signal to record.
Set up your recording software so that it only records the Left channel. It describes how to do this on the Samson FAQ page and in the Owner's Manual:
"In your digital audio workstation (DAW), create a mono audio track, and set it to the Left channel of the C01U (the Right channel should be ignored). Arm the track for recording, and adjust the input gain by using the software control in your computer's operating system"
Don't try to alter the pan so both sides are the same; that will just screw up the levels and noise.
