The Q8 is the hand-held dynamic microphone that out performs industry standard microphones in every category. The Q8 is ideal for live sound reinforcement because of its feedback rejection and high output gain. The heart of this performance comes from the Neodymium multi-axis shock-mounted element and super cardioid pick up pattern. Vocals sound huge and instrument micing is crystal clear. The Q8 is also a versatile tool in the recording studio, a workhorse microphone perfect for any professional application.

Comments about Samson Q8 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone:
Have had the same Q8's for the past 3 years. Not one problem. They have been slammed on the floor. Dropped on the floor. Not one glitch. (Q7 broke on the first drop) Buy the Q8 over the Q7 completely worth the extra money.

Comments about Samson Q8 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone:
I ordered 11 Senn. E935 mics for a client and the salesman said' "the Q8 is just as good". He was so convinced that he included one in the deal... I A/B'd the two mics and the Senn. won so I threw the Q8 into my gig mic box. Recently on a "live" show the lead singer's wireless [*] out so I handed him the Q8 and a mic cord. HOLY SAMSON, BATMAN! With a little trim and EQ adjust this sucker was cuttin' thru the mix like hot knife thru BUTTA'! You'd be hard-pressed to find a better mic at this price point! Samson has hit HOMER on this one!

Comments about Samson Q8 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone:
I just got this microphone for Christmas. It sounds warm, it picks up all of the sound, and it feels good. I would recommend it for anyone, especially just starting out musicians who don't want to spend too much but want a great mic.

Comments about Samson Q8 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone:
"Our soundman has a collection of microphones so we were able to really compare the Q8 to a bunch of other microphones. The Q8 sounded as good, if not better than some of the expensive microphones in his collection. We were all surprised and impressed."
