Description

Introducing the Samson Q9U XLR/USB Broadcast Dynamic Microphone - 50Hz-20Khz, Usb-C. A versatile and high-quality audio recording solution designed for professional broadcasts, podcasts, streaming, and live recording applications. It excels in both home and studio environments, offering users the ability to produce top-notch audio through its combination of an XLR analogue output and a USB-C digital connection. With stunning 24-bit/96kHz high-definition digital audio resolution, the Q9U ensures that your voice is captured with clarity and precision, resonating well with audiences.

Equipped with a dynamic capsule featuring a Neodymium magnet, the Q9U provides substantial output, ensuring compatibility with various mixers and audio interfaces without requiring external amplification. Its wide frequency response (ranging from 50Hz to 20kHz) and robust dynamic range enable it to effortlessly capture the nuances and natural sounds of both vocal and musical performances. Additionally, the built-in humbucking coil effectively reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, allowing for clean and interference-free recordings. The Q9U's cardioid polar pattern is designed to focus on the sound directly in front of the microphone while minimizing ambient noise and off-axis sounds, making it ideal for solo performances or multi-host scenarios. An internal pneumatic shock mount prevents unwanted mechanical noise from affecting recordings, and the dual-layer windscreen helps mitigate plosive sounds, ensuring crisp audio quality.

For added functionality, the microphone features an onboard mute switch that silences the mic quickly on both XLR and USB outputs. Users also benefit from zero-latency headphone monitoring via the 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone output, allowing real-time monitoring of audio without delay. The Q9U includes user-friendly controls such as a low-cut filter and mid-presence boost to shape audio to your preference. The microphone is designed with solid, die-cast construction and features an integrated yoke mount for easy setup. It comes with essential accessories, including a 2m USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a foam windscreen for enhanced protection against environmental noise. Weighing 2.13 lb (0.97 kg) and measuring 3.12 x 7.02 inches (79.5mm x 178.5mm), the Q9U is durable yet portable, making it suitable for both studio use and on-the-go recording sessions. It is USB bus-powered, consuming only 170 mA, making it efficient and convenient.
