Dual USB-C and XLR Microphone Pack

The Samson Q2U is a dynamic handheld microphone that connects to a computer via USB-C and to professional audio gear via XLR. It is built for podcasters, streamers and home recordists who want a single mic that works in both digital and analogue workflows. The unidirectional polar pattern focuses on the voice while rejecting off-axis room noise.

Plug-and-Play Setup With Included Accessories

The microphone draws power from the USB-C connection so no external supply or batteries are needed for computer use. In the box you receive a tripod desktop stand, a tripod extension, a mic clip, a windscreen, a USB-C cable and an XLR cable. The only common issue is forgetting to select the Q2U as the input device in the operating system sound settings after the first connection.

50 Hz to 15 kHz Frequency Response

The published frequency range of 50 Hz to 15 kHz determines how faithfully the mic captures the low end of a voice and the presence of sibilant detail. If your content requires extended high-frequency air or deep sub-bass reproduction, this range may not cover those needs.
