OQAN QMC20 STUDIO - Large Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone
Take the leap into professional recording with the OQAN QMC20 STUDIO , a condenser microphone that redefines value for project studios, home studios, and content creators. Meticulously designed to capture every nuance of your performance, this microphone incorporates high-precision FET (Field Effect Transistor) technology, ensuring a fast transient response and crystal-clear sound that respects the original source.
Its robust construction and advanced electronics make it an indispensable tool for those seeking clarity and warmth in their recordings. Thanks to its transformerless output circuit, the QMC20 eliminates harmonic distortion in the low frequencies, delivering a clean and transparent signal, ideal for post-production mixing. Whether you're recording your first single, narrating a podcast, or capturing the acoustic sound of a guitar, this microphone is ready to deliver studio-quality results.
Main features
-
FET Technology and Transformerless Design: Unlike conventional input microphones, the QMC20 uses FET electronics that reduce self-noise and maximize clarity, allowing recordings with a professional "feel" and immediate presence.
-
Large Diaphragm Capsule: Its heart is a sensitive capsule capable of capturing a full frequency range (30Hz - 20 kHz), from the deepest bass to the most subtle treble, providing that characteristic body and warmth of radio and studio voices.
-
Cardioid Polar Pattern: Designed to focus on what's in front of it and reject sound from the sides and rear. This is crucial for minimizing ambient noise from the room or computer during recording.
-
Robust Metal Construction: The all-metal body not only protects the internal components, but also helps to reject electromagnetic interference, ensuring a long service life even with intensive use.
-
Complete Starter Kit: Comes ready to work, including an elastic (spider-type) suspension that isolates the microphone from vibrations from the floor or table, and a carrying bag to protect it from dust when not in use.
Benefits for the user
The OQAN QMC20 STUDIO eliminates the technical barrier between a musical idea and a quality recording. Its main benefit lies in its sonic transparency ; it doesn't excessively color the sound, allowing you greater freedom in equalizing and processing your tracks in post-production. Furthermore, its ability to handle high sound pressure levels (up to 125 dB SPL) means you can record loud sources like guitar amplifiers or percussion without fear of distortion. It's a lasting investment that grows with you as your production skills improve.
Use cases
-
Vocal Recording: Ideal for singers and rappers who need their voice to settle perfectly over the mix with clarity and weight.
-
Acoustic Instruments: Excellent for capturing the brightness and resonance of acoustic guitars, strings, or pianos.
-
Podcasting and Voiceover: It offers that deep and intimate "broadcasting" sound that podcasters and audiobook narrators are looking for.
-
Guitar Amplifiers: Thanks to its high SPL, it can be placed in front of guitar cabinets to capture the amplifier's true tone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any extra equipment to use this microphone?
Yes, being a condenser microphone, it requires +48V phantom power . You'll need an audio interface, mixer, or preamp that supplies this voltage via an XLR cable.
Can I connect it directly to the computer?
Not directly into the PC's headphone or microphone input. You must use a USB audio interface (external sound card) that has an XLR input and +48V phantom power to convert the analog signal to digital.
Does the elastic suspension fit any microphone stand?
Yes, the included suspension has a standard thread compatible with the vast majority of table or floor microphone stands on the market.
