Samson Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone Recording and Podcasting Pack, Silver

The Samson Q2U USB / XLR Microphone is a versatile audio capture device that combines the convenience of digital and analog audio capture. It is the first choice for home/studio and mobile recording, as well as stage performance, with its XLR and USB outputs. The Q2U is a simple-to-set-up microphone that outshines more expensive options. Included in the package are a mic clip, desktop tripod stand with extension piece, windscreen, XLR cable, and USB cable, providing everything needed to start recording right out of the box.

The Q2U offers the best of both worlds, with a professional handheld dynamic microphone that features a USB digital output for connecting to a computer and an XLR analog output for connecting to a mixer, audio interface, or portable PA system. The dynamic microphone capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern captures sound from the front of the microphone, minimizing ambient sounds and other room noises, making it ideal for podcasting, home recording, or voiceover work. It also reduces the risk of feedback in live performance settings.

The onboard 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack allows for zero-latency monitoring, enabling the user to hear themselves without any delay or echo, as well as a mix of the computer audio playback. The solid, die-cast construction with a heavy-gauge mesh grille ensures the microphone's durability and long-lasting performance.

The Q2U is a plug-and-play device, meaning it doesn't require any special drivers to work with your computer. Simply connect the microphone to your computer, launch your favorite audio software, and start recording. The Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack includes an extended desktop stand with a mic clip that positions the microphone close to the sound source, a pop-filter for reducing p-pops, and both USB and XLR cables, providing everything needed to start recording great-sounding projects.

In conclusion, the Samson Q2U USB / XLR Microphone is a versatile and high-quality audio capture device that offers the convenience of digital and analog audio capture in a single, easy-to-use package. Its features, including the dynamic microphone capsule, zero-latency monitoring, and durable construction, make it an excellent choice for a wide range of recording applications, from podcasting and home recording to live performances and voiceover work.
