Samson TechnologiesQ9U - XLR/USB Dynamic Broadcast Microphone

I bought this microphone mainly to upgrade my previous condenser mic for voice overs and I'm so surprised with the quality as it really suits my voice. For weeks, I've been researching on which microphone to choose and I ended up getting this. It's a bit heavy as it's made with full metal which makes it feel premium. It might not suit everyone's voice, but for me, it's just right.

Thank you so much

Amazing sound quality, but the fact that it doesn't come with any kind of stand is a bit disappointing..

To put it simply, this might be the best microphone under 250 dollars. I will begin with the features, this mic offers USB and XLR connection along with zero-latency auto monitoring and audio passthrough from your computer. It has has a physical mute switch and two switches on the back to alter the sound. One switch is a mid presence boost and the other is a low cut filter. Next I want to talk about the build quality, this microphone feels excellent and is made of very high quality materials, everything on this mic is either metal or very high quality plastic. Finally the sound produced by this microphone is very very good, I personally use this microphone over USB and have the mid presence boost switch engaged. This microphone has a very warm and deep sound profile that sets it apart from other dynamic microphones, I personally love how this microphone sounds and I would easily choose this over something like the shure mv7 or even the sm7b. I have found that if you want the microphone to sound more like other "podcast" microphones you should enable the low cut filter and mid presence boost, I highly recommend you view the video created by Podcastage in which he reviewed this microphone and compared it to several other microphone in the same category.

El micrófono en general es de muy buena calidad, la facilidad de instalación, configuración y uso mediante el USB es muy buena, por medio de la conexión XLR no es diferente a cualesquier micrófono profesional de estudio con condensador. La calidad de materiales y de manofactura son destacables, si bien puede ser un poco pesado, se percibe robusto y muy resistente para trabajo arduo. El unico detalle que le noto, aunque no afecta en lo absoluto a la calidad del micrófono, puede ser que con el paso del tiempo termine haciéndole falta una perilla de ajuste para la inclinación.

Cable breaks really easy, no samson support.
