Common name: Samson Q2
Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage
The Q2 is a cardioid dynamic microphone with a tri-axis shock-mounted Neodymium element providing high output and sound quality. It ideal for vocals, amplifiers and instruments in live sound set-ups, and as a multi-purpose mic for project recording.

Includes foam lined carrying case, microphone clip and thread adapter.
