Samson Q2 Specification Sheet

A versatile new addition the the Q

MIC

“family” of

microphones, the Q2 employs a tight unidirectional

cardioid pattern to keep feedback to an absolute

minimum in high SPL vocal and instrument miking

situations. Its high energy Neodymium element pro-

vides maximum gain before feedback along with

superior sound quality and is enclosed on a special

multi-axis shock-mount chassis to reduce handling

noise. Featuring very clear and articulate sound, the

Q2 also incorporates a transformerless design for

extended low frequency response without distortion

and aluminum humbucking voice coil for quieter,

hum-free performance. It is equipped with a switch-

able 10 dB pad for use with high SPL sources and a

12 dB per octave high pass filter to reduce rumble

and other unwanted low end sounds. Manufactured

with the highest quality components, th Q2, like the

popular Qmic, includes a highly distinctive wind-

screen / noise filter that greatly reduces wind noise,

“pops” and excessive sibilance. Additional features

include a gold-plated XLR connector and a special

“Euro” adapter that allows the mic to be easily

mounted onto metric microphone stands.
