Samson Q6 - Supercardioid Handheld Dynamic Microphone for Vocals and Instruments
The Samson Q6 is a handheld dynamic microphone designed for accuracy and durability in live and studio settings . Its neodymium capsule provides a wide dynamic range and a supercardioid pattern that effectively rejects off-axis sound, reducing feedback and improving intelligibility. With a response of 50 Hz–15 kHz , the ability to handle up to 134 dB SPL , and a suspended capsule to minimize handling noise, the Q6 performs reliably on lead and backing vocals , as well as guitar amps, snare drums, and percussion . It features an on/off switch for immediate on-stage monitoring, a hardened steel grille , a zinc alloy body, and a gold-plated XLR connector . The single pack includes a microphone clip , XLR cable , and a carrying case .
