FEATURES

The Samson QE/QV Headset utilizes state-of-the-art headset microphone tech­nology and is engineered to the finest detail. Here are some of its main features:

• Lightweight, low visibility design for unobtrusive use.

• High quality electret condenser element delivers high output and exceptional

sound quality.

• Full range frequency response for clear, cr isp audio.The QV Headset is vir­tually flat to 10kHz, while the QE Headset utilizes a midrange “presence”
peak for optimum reproduction of speech.

• Tight hypercardioid polar pattern (in the QV) and bi-directional noise cancel­lation design (in the QE) reduces background noise, minimizes feedback
problems and effectively rejects signals not originating directly in front of the
mic capsule.

• QE Headset includes internal radio frequency (RF) suppression, making it
suitable for use in high-RF urban areas.
