Why We Love It:For a USB microphone the Q2U is a unique offering. Its dynamic design offers reduced sensitivity compared to most USB condenser microphones. This reduced sensitivity along with a directional cardioid pickup pattern helps reduce editing time by preventing background noise and vibrations from entering the signal you are transmitting to your computer. This makes on the go recording in crowded environments more manageable. However, the Q2U still manages to handle loud signals (up to 148dB)and offers an excellent frequency range so you can use it for applications like Sound Folley, Miking acoustic guitars, or recording emotional lectures, presentations, tirades, and more. Who Needs It:While everyone should consider owning a Samson Q2U for its premium flexibility, the microphone is great for beginner podcasters looking to cut down on editing time as well as educators who need an easy to use solution for projecting their lectures to the classroom or recording lectures for their websites and learning portals. Vocalists looking to experiment with recording should seriously consider the Q2U for its streamlined setup, direct computer connection, and ability to be used in live settings.
