Samson Technology Q9U - XLR USB Broadcast Dynamic Microphone
Produce professional-quality audio suitable for broadcasts, podcasts, streams and live recordings from the comfort of your home with the Samson Q9U Broadcast Dynamic Microphone. Featuring both XLR analogue and USB-C output connections, the Q9U will easily integrate into any professional or home recording setup. Capture audio with depth and detail with the stunning 24-bit/96KHz hi-definition digital audio resolution. The Q9U will resonate quality with any listener.
Bring the studio to you
The Q9U microphone integrates itself into any recording setup. Whether you are working from home as a one-person show, or are building a multi-host production studio, the Q9U offers effortless audio with minimal setup. The modern dynamic capsule with a neodymium magnet provides plenty of output to work with any mixer or audio interface. The large dynamic range captures subtle nuances and the natural sound of performances whilst the wide frequency response requires no external gain devices for a smooth mix. The advanced humbucking coil reduces the pickup of electromagnetic (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) as well as the hum of other equipment, all combining together for crystal clear, broadcast-quality audio.
HD Digital Audio
Achieving professional audio is simple with the Q9U mic. Featuring a 24-bit/96kHz analogue to digital converter the Q9U delivers vibrant and high-definition digital recordings directly onto your Mac or Windows computer. No driver downloads required. A 3.5mm headphone jack offers zero-latency monitoring, allowing the performer to hear the audio in real-time. Additionally, an onboard mute switch quickly silences the microphone to both the XLR and USB outputs for breaks or multi-person tracks.
Cardioid Design
The cardioid polar pattern keeps your voice front and centre of any recording. Rejecting off-axis sound and minimising ambient pickup, the Q9U creates crystal-clear audio. An internal pneumatic shock mount isolates the capsule from mechanical noise and a dual-layer windscreen minimises popping and plosives for a crisp, professional-sounding broadcast. Additional, low-cut and mid-presence boost controls grant you further onboard sound tailoring options.
