Samson Q8x is a handheld professional dynamic vocal microphone for live and studio use. It features a neodymium dynamic element with a 50 Hz–16 kHz frequency response and a slight boost around 8 kHz for vocal clarity. The supercardioid pattern provides strong off-axis rejection, while a high-saturation transformer reduces hum. With 300 Ω impedance and a rugged die-cast body, it handles up to 150 dB SPL and minimizes handling noise with a pneumatic capsule shock mount. Includes mic clip and zipper pouch; 3-pin XLR connector.
