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 wind-
screen 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 magnet-
ic 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.
• Vertical 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.

ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S
SPECIFICATION
The microphone shall be of a dynamic type
with hypercardioid polar pattern. The micro-
phone shall provide its output on a gold-plated
male XLR-type connector. Output impedance
shall be 150 ohms.
The microphone shall be constructed of a
zinc casing and shall contain a triple-plated
multi-stage windscreen and noise filter for the
removal of pops, sibilance and onstage noise, an
aluminum humbucking voice coil for the elimi-
nation of magnetic field interference and true
hum rejection, a Neoprene transformer cover
for the reduction of microphonics, a high-out-
put 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″(57 mm) head length,
4.5″(114.2 mm) main unit length and 6.75″
(172 mm) total length. Weight shall be 8.7 oz.
(250 g). The microphone shall carry a three-
year warranty.
The microphone shall be a SAMSON Q
MIC .
