Samson Q8 Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphone
A detailed image of the Samson Q8 Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphone is presented, showing its sleek, dark grey design with a silver grille.
Samson's Q8 Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphone offers high accuracy and audio performance for both live and studio vocal miking applications. Engineered with state-of-the-art microphone technology, the Q8 aims to deliver superior sound reproduction and professionalism.
The microphone's performance is driven by its neodymium dynamic mic element, which provides a wide dynamic range. It features a supercardioid pickup pattern, ensuring excellent off-axis rejection. This design allows the Q8 to capture all nuances of a performance with clarity and volume while minimizing feedback and unwanted signals from the sides or rear. The Q8 also boasts a smooth frequency response and a low-frequency roll-off, contributing to balanced vocal reproduction regardless of the performer's proximity to the capsule.
Beyond vocal applications, the Q8 is a versatile tool for recording studios. It is capable of handling high Sound Pressure Levels (SPLs), making it suitable for capturing loud vocals with a clear and powerful sound. It is also effective for close-miking instruments such as snare drums, guitar amplifiers, and more.
Constructed with a rugged die-cast body and a hardened steel grille, and featuring a multi-axis, shock-mounted capsule to reduce handling noise, the Samson Q8 Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphone is built for reliable performance in demanding environments.

Q8 Pickup Pattern
A polar pattern diagram illustrates the supercardioid pickup pattern of the Q8 microphone. It shows sensitivity levels at various angles around the microphone, with maximum sensitivity directly in front (0 degrees) and significant rejection at the rear (180 degrees).
Q8 Frequency Chart
A frequency response graph displays the microphone's output level (in dB) across a range of frequencies (in Hz). The graph shows a relatively flat response from approximately 50Hz up to 16kHz, with a slight boost in the upper mid-range, characteristic of a vocal microphone.
