Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone

The Samson Q7 is a handheld supercardioid stage vocal mic.

It shares numerous features with its sibling, the Q8:

  • Neodymium magnets for higher output
  • Supercardioid polar pattern
  • Die-cast zinc alloy body
  • Internal shockmounting of capsule assembly

Most of the text describing the Q7 is reproduced verbatim for the Q8, yet the published frequency response and polar pattern differ. The Q7 has a smoother high-frequency response (or, at least, a more smoothed response plot), which rolls off at a higher bass frequency and a lower treble frequency. The Q8, in contrast, has a fuller response plot, and a flatter midrange.

The mic ships with a stand clip and plastic case.
