Dynamic Sound for Any Performance At the heart of the Q6's performance is the wide dynamic range produced by its neodymium dynamic element. The microphone also features a supercardioid pickup pattern with excellent off-axis rejection. This allows the Q6 to capture all the nuances of a performance with maximum volume and clarity, while reducing feedback and unwanted signals not originating in front of the microphone. The Q6 also offers a smooth frequency response and low-frequency rolloff for balanced audio reproduction no matter how close a sound source is to the capsule. A versatile tool in the recording studio, the Q6 is a workhorse microphone perfect for a variety of applications. Built to handle high SPLs, the Q6 makes live vocals sound huge and crystal clear, but it is also great for close-miking instruments such as snare drums, guitar amps and more. With a rugged die-cast body and hardened steel grille, and a multi-axis shock-mounted capsule to minimize handling noise, the Samson Q6 Dynamic Microphone provides reliable performance in even the most demanding environments.
