The Samson Q8 is a handheld dynamic microphone ideal for live and studio applications including vocals, and close miking of instruments such as snare drums and guitar amps. The microphone employs a neodymium element and features a super cardioid polar pattern and handles very high SPL. The capsule is shock-mounted to minimise handling noise. The Q8 offers a smooth response with a low frequency roll off to minimise proximity effect when used very close to the source. The microphone includes mic clip and carrying case.
