Samson Q8 Supercardioid Neodymium Dynamic Microphone

The Samson Q8 is a premium, high-output dynamic microphone engineered to deliver exceptional performance for lead vocals, backing vocals, and instrument miking in both live and studio environments. Its advanced design incorporates a low-mass, high-sensitivity neodymium capsule, ensuring a wider, more accurate frequency response and superior clarity compared to traditional dynamic microphones. The Q8 is built for professional touring and rigorous use, offering unparalleled reliability and clear, detailed sound.

Key Performance Features

• High-Output Neodymium Dynamic Element & Low Impedance: Featuring a powerful neodymium magnetic structure, the Q8 provides significantly higher output and increased sensitivity. This translates to a stronger signal, lower noise floor, and excellent transient response, making its high-output, low-impedance design ideal for long cable runs and detailed audio reproduction.
• Supercardioid Polar Pattern: The precise Supercardioid pickup pattern ensures maximum rejection of off-axis noise and feedback from monitors and neighboring instruments. This focused directionality is vital for maintaining isolation and clarity for vocals in loud, complex stage mixes.
• High SPL Handling (Up to 150dB): Equipped to handle high Sound Pressure Levels, the Q8 can handle up to 150 dB SPL without distortion. This capability makes it excellent for close-miking high-volume sources such as snare drums, guitar amps, and powerful vocalists.
• Tailored Frequency Response: The Q8’s frequency curve is optimized for vocal presence, featuring a smooth response across 50 Hz–16 kHz with a slight boost in the mid-range and high-end to help speech and singing cut through the mix with articulation and warmth.
• Advanced Shock Mounting: The microphone capsule is internally shock-mounted (multi-axis) to minimize handling noise, cable rumble, and stand vibrations. This critical feature ensures a clean, artifact-free signal during dynamic live performances.
• Rugged Die-Cast Construction: Built for the demands of the road, the Q8 features a durable, all-metal, die-cast body and a hardened steel mesh grille that protects the capsule from impact and wear.
