Dynamic XLR Microphone for Live and Studio Use

The Samson Q4 is a dynamic microphone with a neodymium element and a supercardioid pickup pattern. It delivers a sensitivity of -50 decibels and a signal-to-noise ratio of 76 decibels. The frequency response spans 80Hz to 12kHz. It is built for live vocals, presentations and instrument miking.

Included XLR Cable Clip and Carry Case

The bundle supplies an XLR cable so you can connect directly to a mixer or interface without buying a separate lead. A microphone clip mounts the capsule to a stand and the carry case protects the unit during transport. These accessories let you start recording or performing immediately.

Check Your Interface Phantom Power and Stand Thread

This microphone uses an XLR connector and requires an audio interface or mixer with a compatible preamp. It does not need phantom power because it is a dynamic design. Verify that your mic stand uses a standard thread size to accept the supplied clip before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the XLR connector or the supplied clip need replacement after regular stage use?

The Q4 uses a standard XLR connector and includes a microphone clip; both are built for repeated connection and removal in live settings.

What limits the microphone when capturing loud sources such as drums or guitar amps all night?

The dynamic neodymium element handles high sound pressure levels, so the practical limit is the 12 kHz upper frequency response rather than overload.

Does the Q4 generate self-noise or heat during a full-day recording session?

With a 76 dB signal-to-noise ratio and -50 dB sensitivity, the microphone adds minimal self-noise and produces no measurable heat during continuous operation.
