Samson Qmic Hypercardioid User Manual

The Samson Q

MIC

is a new professional dynamic
mic specially designed for use as a vocal mic in live
performance. Manufactured with the highest quality
components, the Q

MIC

’s distinctive multi-stage wind­screen and filter reduces pops, sibilance and on-stage
noise, and a midrange presence peak ensures an
exceptionally clear, articulate sound. The Q

MIC

also
features a humbucking voice coil to eliminate magnet­ic field interference and a multi-axis shock-mounted
mic element that reduces handling noise. Its tight
hypercardioid pattern ensures maximum feedback
rejection while delivering a strong, crisp signal from
the audio source directly in front of the mic capsule.
The Q

MIC

is also particularly well-suited for use with

Samson wireless systems.

• Full range frequency response with a midrange
“presence” peak at 2 kHz for optimum
reproduction of vocals and exceptionally clear,
crisp sound.

• Tight hypercardioid polar pattern minimizes
feedback problems.

• Lightweight aluminum humbucking voice coil
eliminates magnetic field interference and
provides true hum rejection at the source.

• High energy rare earth Neodymium element
delivers high output.

• Ver tical porting removes standing wave
distortion.

• Mic element enclosed in multi-axis shock-mount,
enabling 360° X-Y axis movement and reduction
of handling noise.

• Gold-plated XLR connector.

• Triple-plated multi-stage windscreen and noise
filter for the removal of pops, sibilance and
onstage noise.

• Silicon “anti-dent” ring protects windscreen.

• Neoprene transformer cover reduces microphonics.

• Rugged, die-cast zinc casing.

• Foam-lined carrying case and mic-clip included.

aluminum humbucking voice coil for the elimi­nation of magnetic field interference and true
hum rejection, a Neoprene transformer cover
for the reduction of microphonics, a high-out­put Neodymium element, and a multi-axis
shock-mount to minimize handling noise. The
microphone shall have frequency response
from 20 Hz to 18.5 kHz, sensitivity of -47 dBV at
94 dB SPL, and a maximum SPL of 137 dB.
Dimensions shall be 2.25
