Samson Q2U USB and XLR Handheld Dynamic Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern (White)
Whether you're
recording a podcast, live streaming, or hosting a video call, the Samson Q2U
Handheld Dynamic USB and XLR Microphone in White has you covered. With both USB
and XLR connectivity, it easily connects to any device and allows you to get
started recording quickly. With a mic clip, desktop tripod stand, windscreen,
and all the necessary cables included, you will have everything you need in one
convenient package. Give your audio a boost and keep your audience engaged with
the Q2U.
Broadcast Like a Pro
The Q2U dynamic capsule has a wide frequency response tailored for capturing
your voice, delivering the perfect balance of low-end warmth and mid-range
clarity. The microphone is less sensitive to background noise and other
distracting sounds, making the Q2U great for recording in untreated rooms while
still delivering studio-quality sound.
Focused Sound
The Q2U dynamic microphone is designed to capture clear and accurate sound,
thanks to its cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern. This pattern focuses the
microphone's pickup on the sound coming directly in front of the mic while
rejecting noise from the rear and sides. This helps to minimize ambient or room
noise, ensuring that your recordings are as clean and distraction-free as
possible.
Best of Both Worlds
Q2U is the ideal microphone choice for any podcaster, especially if you are
frequently on the go or building a podcast studio on a budget. Onboard,
high-quality analog-to-digital converters provide excellent audio reproduction
when connecting directly to a computer or mobile device via USB. Alternatively,
it can be plugged directly into a mixer or audio interface with an XLR cable.
You can also use both connections simultaneously for recording a live event or
performance.
Total Control of Your Sound
The 1/8-inch (3.5mm) zero-latency headphone output with level control lets you
directly monitor the audio you are recording without delay, and a microphone
mute switch provides complete control during your projects.
Accessories Included
The Q2U comes with a desktop tripod stand and mic clip for optimal placement
when recording. A windscreen is also provided to minimize wind noise and
plosives. A USB cable and XLR cable complete the Q2U pack, giving you
everything you need to get started on your next project.
One Mic for Stage, Studio, and On-The-Go
With the convenience of digital and analog audio capture in one dynamic
microphone, and broadcast quality sound, the Q2U is versatile and the first
choice for home studio recording, content creators, as well as stage
performance.
Made for Streaming
Quality video starts with quality audio. Ensure your viewers catch everything
you say clearly. The unidirectional pickup pattern focuses on audio pickup to
what is in front of the mic.
