Podcast PerfectionIf you’re looking to start a new podcast, the Q2U is the best choice for creating a production studio on a budget. Whether you’re recording a solo broadcast on your laptop or multi-person interviews through a mixing desk, the Q2U delivers high-quality audio effortlessly with minimal setup. It even has a 1/8″ (3.5mm) headphone output to monitor the audio you’re capturing, as well as the audio from your computer. | A Stud in the StudioThe Q2U is a great mic for home recording. Its dynamic capsule is great for miking vocals, instruments and amplifiers. Onboard, high-quality analog-to-digital converters provide excellent audio reproduction. The Q2U’s cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern picks up sound from in front of the mic, while rejecting unwanted sound from the rear and sides. This minimizes the amount of ambient/room noise that is captured on your recordings. | Go MobileTaking your podcast or recording on the road? The Q2U can be used with iPhones and iPads via Apple’s Lightning to USB Camera Adapter or Android devices via a Host OTG cable. In addition, the Q2U’s rugged handheld body is perfect for capturing interviews at press conferences, live events or on the street. |

J’ai achet ce micro afin de tourner des vidos
Le son est clair, il isole bien des bruits extrieurs
J’avais dj test 2 micros plus chers et je n’avais pas une aussi bonne qualit, au top
The sound quality is very good, even better than some more expensive Audio Technika model. Despite the quality, it supports USB so you need no interface.
This is my first mic, but to me it sounds great out of the box with USB and no post-processing whatsoever. Recommended
Top Preis-Leistung und lobenswert die XLR-USB Kombilsung!
Sowohl am PC als auch in Produktion universell einsetzbar, wenn man mit leichten Qualittseinbussen(meckern auf hohem Niveau) leben kann.
Bin sehr zufrieden!
No tengo demasiado que decir, la verdad, es un muy buen producto.
Antes tera un Snowball y la diferencia tanto estticamente, como de materiales de construccin y sonido final es un mundo aparte. Est construido en metal y suena muy bien.
Excepcional. Relacin calidad precio extraordinarios. Soy periodista y trabajo con muchos micrfonos, este ha superado a todos los usados hasta el momento.
Sound quality is pretty good, as well in usb as also in xls mode. The headphone preamp has a high ‘his’ sound.
What else to say – reasonable priced mic with brilliant sound quality
Verwende das Produkt fr Aufnahmen mit einem Zoom Audio Device und erreiche super Klang. Gut verarbeitet und das kleine Tischstativ ist gut. Wenn man jedoch Ordnung auf dem Tisch haben will holt man sich ein etwas anderes Stativ. Reicht fr meine Zwecke aus. Bin sehr zufrieden. Habe auch andere Mikrofone, die teurer waren. Dieses Mikrofon ist etwas besser sauberer in hohen Bereichen als die, die ich habe. Habe mir auch berlegt noch eins zu holen.
The combination of both inputs XLR + USB is a great thing !
Ich teile mir das Arbeitszimmer mit meiner Partnerin und hatte bis dato ein USB-Kondensator Mic benutzt. Eine schreckliche Kombination, da Kondensator Mic sehr empfindlich sind und somit jedes Gerusch mit aufgenommen wurde. Zudem waren die Tippgerusche auf meiner Tastatur wohl auch immer sehr laut bei meinen Videokonferenz Gesprchspartnern zu hren.
Mit diesem dynamischen Mic st das alles KEIN Thema mehr. Es ist wesentlich weniger empfindlich als jedes Kondensator Mic. Viele beschweren sich in den Rezensionen ber die Lautstrke – die
geringe” Lautstrke ist bei diesem Mic ein Feature und kein Bug! Man muss recht nah rangehen mit dem Mund (20cm reichen).
Benutzt wird das Mic mit einem Macbook mit M1 Prozessor und funktioniert dabei Plug and Play. Bin sehr zufrieden.
The sound quality of the microphone is good, but I’m having problems to get it to work properly on Windows. The volume is incredibly low, which makes it impossible to use for video chats. This seems to be a known problem for a range of microphones on Windows (not only Samson’s microphones). But unfortunately, this microphone is one of them…
Lo usiamo all’interno di un’associazione per fare podcast, ma anche per collegarlo all’amplificazione. Molto versatile, ed anche accessoriato, ne abbiamo presi tre, tutti funzionanti e senza nessun problema.
Acquistato ad un ottimo prezzo su Amazon wharehouse. Soddisfacente la qualit audio, ottima la possibilit di collegare delle cuffie per l’ascolto direttamente sul microfono. Peccato per l’assenza del cavo usb, nonostante le indicazioni indicassero il contrario, ma molto probabilmente non stato restituito da chi ja reso il prodotto.
People noticed the improvement right away and some friends are always joking about being the “podcast guy” because my voice sounds so good.
J’utilisais ce micro pour les soire karaok, mais depuis un certain temps je l’utilise la place de mon micro-casque pour jouer au jeux vido et d’aprs les retour la qualit est top, et coupl l’option de filtre de discord aucun autre bruit Hors ma voix n’est capturer et c’est top si vous tes dans un endroit constamment bruyant.
This microphone changed my online conferencing life. The quality is literally studio-quality suitable for podcasts. The setup is seamless and the live monitoring feature is essential (you hear your voice in your ear in real time 0ms latency). It makes everyone who uses it sound like a broadcaster and I get complimented for my mic quality literally every time I use it. It’s absolutely the best dynamic mic you can buy for the money.
ich arbeite seit mehr als 12 Jahren mit einem Samson Q1 USB Mikrofon, in gewisser Hinsicht der Vorgnger des Q2U. Die Mikrofone sind ungeheuer gut verarbeitet, zuverlssig und problemlos im Alltag zu benutzen. Podcasts habe ich mit dem Q2U, dass ist seit einem Jahr besitze, Dutzende gemacht, dazu eine Reihe von sendefhigen Produktionen. Meine Rode Podmics verwende ich schon lange nicht mehr. Sie sind optisch schn, ja, aber sie kommen mit der Flexiblitt und der Qualitt des Q2U nicht mit. Ich verwende auch noch andere Mikros, deutlich teurere zum Teil, aber das Q2U ist mein Schweizermesser.
Si necesitas un micro bueno para que se te escuche bien y no quieres gastar un dineral, sta es la mejor opcin que vas a encontrar.
Yo lo uso para grabar podcast y va genial, tanto por USB como conectndolo a una interfaz xlr. Se puede enchufar con los dos cables a la vez, en caso de querer grabar en dos aparatos distintos al mismo tiempo.
Really just plug in and play, a solid piece of kit with a great sound.
Does what it says on the tin! no more no less
Lovely mic, but a seperate stand should be bought in order to always have it close to your mouth. I don’t count that as a con, since it also means no background sound is being recorded. Awesome quality.
Le double branchement xlr usb me permet d’utiliser ce micro sur mon setup perso et pro malgr les verrous sur ce dernier.
La qualit sonore est bien l, en meeting (usb) ou enregistrement (xlr), bien sr il faut rester trs proche.
Strumento perfetto. Sarebbe pi utile con una supporto pi alto o allungabile
Sehr gute Tonqualitt fr den Preis. Ja, es ist nicht so gut wie ein 400 Mikrofon, aber auch nicht so viel schlechter, aber schon erstaunlich nah dran.
Zubehr ist auch sehr ordentlich, sodass man gleich alles hat was man braucht, um loszulegen.
Ich habe mich fr dieses dynamisches Mikrofon im Gegensatz zu den Kondensator-Mikrofonen entschieden, da so unerwnschte Strgerusche minimiert werden. Idealerweise hrt das Gegenber also nur die eigene Stimme und nicht etwa auch das Tastatur-Geklimpere oder Straengerusche.
Von mir bekommt dieses Mikrofon eine volle Empfehlung!
Comincio subito da un “difetto”. Se il microfono in mute (spento), non c’ un indicatore luminoso che ve lo segnala.
Per il resto, mi ha sopreso.
Qualit costruttiva ottima (tutto in metallo).
Corpo “standard”, che pu essere posizionato nelle staffe “standard” da microfono senza adattatori particolari.
Output via USB/XLR perfetti, puliti, senza rumori e con il tono caldo che mi aspettavo da un cardioide dinamico. Perfetto per la voce e riprese a corta distanza.
Ottima la borsetta di trasporto in cui ci sta tutto (micro treppiede, cavo, microfono e cuffia antivento).
Veramente una piacevole sorpresa. Pu tranquillamente diventare il vostro microfono “all arouund”, dal podcast al live da palco.
Me gusta todo! Gran sonido y el soporte es muy estable!
Una verdadera maravilla.
Yo trabajo en remoto y estaba harto de usar auriculares tanto tiempo, asi que buscaba uno para usarlo con los altavoces… Y oye, una maravilla, el micro no coge el sonido de los altavoces a un volumen normal.
for the money its a perfect choice. Easy to set up and operate!
Conosco questo prodotto ormai da 5 anni e ne ho comprati oltre 10, molto robusto e affidabile ma secondo me la cosa pi importante di questo microfono la possibilit di poterlo usare sia in Digitale sia in analogico, quindi versatile in ogni situazione, infatti lo uso al pc per audio e videocall e poi lo attacco al mixer per tutti gli altri utilizzi.
I primi che ho comprato li ho pagati molto meno ma non ero in Italia mentre qui il prezzo mi sembra un p altino.
ultima cosa lo sconsiglio se lo si vuole usare in coppia, non adatto.
En mi caso he comprado este micrfono para las llamadas del trabajo, tras revisar distintas opiniones vi que me encajaba mejor uno de tipo dinmico pero en esa categora siempre se mencionaba el Sh*re MV7 que para el uso que quiero darle tiene un coste desorbitado, hasta que encontr este modelo y tras escuchar varias pruebas de sonido me convenci.
Al ser un micrfono dinmico para sacarle partido tienes que tenerlo *muy* cerca de la boca, es buena idea complementar la compra con un soporte (brazo). He estado probndolo haciendo llamadas con distintos programas (Teams, Messenger, Zoom, Webex, etc…) y ya se acabaron los “creo que te hemos perdido” con mi antiguo micrfono. Por el precio recomendadsimo!
Fr das geld gibt es nichts besseres fr Einsteiger bzw. als zweit Mikro. Da es einen USB und einen XLR Anschluss hat.
Excellent entry level microphone which is perfect for podcasts, streaming etc… great mic for removal of most background noise
Impressed with this mic … very hood quality sound and competes very well with its higher priced competitors
The Samson Q2U is like no other dynamic microphones that I’ve tried. Hooked up to a proper audio interface with XLR, it performs excellent for its price and can also be used professionally. The pack includes a tripod stand with extender, XLR & USB-cable, a microphone pouch and a windscreen. The microphone has a nice matte finish and very sturdy build. The audio is clear and perfect for almost all voices, if mixed properly.
Great microphone. Use it for podcasts, singing and for zoom calls. Really easy to use, good price.
Very clear sound and very easy to set up. Love it!
I have tried some mic in thIS class and above. Just returned another mic from same brand, which was a USB condenser and priced triple than this one (got lucky to purchase this Samson Q2U as bargain from Amazon as used like new) Very happy with this device. I am using it for singing (Smule, etc) and planning to use it as story telling on stage and online. The plus: sound is crisp and balanced (Not muddy like many other), the form factor is sturdy and carry just enough weight. It got 3 outputs : headphone jack for monitoring , XLR, USB A (with a plug and play adaptor or USB connector it worked instantly on my Ipad pro and Samsung Note 10+) This mic comes with a nice wallet/ carry case in addition with everything listed in the description. Minus point: it DOES need a volume adjusting (any native sound software on any device will do, f.e on Garage band it was detected automatically I only need to level up the volume a bit). Later if I found a good budget mixer I will upgrade and use the XLR cable instead. I can highly recommend this mic, for ANYTHING.
5/5 best for the price,
Only when you plug it in a mixer without a volume noisette, It can be a little sile
Funcionaba pero dej de encenderse la luz y lo devolv
Dazu noch der Lieferumpfang mit Kabeln, Windschutz, Tasche und Tischstnder…WOW
Ich denke die Qualtitt (Material und Audio) ist nicht weit von den teureren Rode Mikros entfernt, einige finden sogar, dass diese hier besser klingen.
Lasst mir eine hilfreich Klick da, wenn es euch geholfen hat 😉 Danke
Sono passato da un ottimo Samson Meteor a questo perch avevo esigenza di passare da un cardioide a un dinamico. Per chi non sa la differenza, in breve con questo dinamico registri mooooolto meno rumore di fondo. Prezzo normale sui 100, preso in promo al folle prezzo di 70. Sinceramente, vale tutti i soldi spesi e anche di pi. Qualit pazzesca, voce bellissima, audio risultanti eccezionali. Il treppiede da tavolo un po’ “poverino”. Per carit, funziona, ma non stabilissimo, inoltre se serve a registrare tutorial al computer, il rischio che battendo sui tasti il treppiede balli e si sentano dei “bump” in registrazione. Io ho preso un archetto da collegare al tavolo, 15, anch’esso economico ma ho risolto questo problema. Lo uso per ora in USB, comodissimo, collego e funziona. Io lo consiglio, penso che sotto i 100 non ci sia nulla di meglio.
El sonido es perfecto, no hay ruido de fondo, la calidad del audio es excelente y no requiere posprocesamiento
increble
ho comprato questo microfono principalmente per iniziare a fare podcasting e mi ritengo molto soddisfatto!
il microfono costruito interamente in alluminio ed molto solido e robusto, ma allo stesso tempo leggero (cosa importante visto che lo terr in mano per registrare)
il microfono molto completo, all’intento troviamo: il microfono, un treppiede, un para sputi di spugna a cuffia, un cavo xlr (per collegarlo ad una interfaccia) e un cavo usb in caso non si volesse utilizzare l’interfaccia ma collegarlo direttamente al computer.
ho guardato molte recensioni e comparazioni con altri microfoni su youtube e come dicevano tutti la qualit audio ottima e non ha nulla da invidiare ad altri microfoni pi costosi.
En general, si quieres un micrfono para empezar a grabar tus pequeos audios con cierta calidad, esta puede ser tu solucin. Ahora que si quieres algo ms profesional, hay otras soluciones.
Das Mikrofon erfllt seine Erwartungen zu 100 %.
Es ist alles wichtige enthalten ( USB Kabel, XLR Kabel ). Der Mikrofon Stnder ist auch sehr robust.
Die Aufnahmequalitt ist wirklich super fr den Preis. Nun steht dem Podcasting nichts mehr im Wege.
My Samson Q2U has only seen limited use so far (not had it long) but have to say (fingers crossed) that its been a 5 star ride all the way. And I can see no reason why that will not continue.
Unfortunately, not so for the desktop tri-pod stand that comes as an accessory. Too short (therefore too low) for my liking. The stand stem should have been height extendable but, sadly, its not; Given the great performance of the mic this is a penny-pinching shame. Having said that I won’t mark a great mic down a star over a disappointing accessory.
Mikrofon funktionniert gut. Einfache Benutzung. “Stativ” das mitgeliefert wird wackelig
Micrfono de muy buena calidad por el precio, la flexibilidad es inmejorable ya que admite salidas usb y xlr y se puede usar en un entorno profesional o simplemente en un escritorio para skype / zoom. La reduccin del ruido de fondo es excelente! Buena compra!
Ik ben er echt zo blij mee! Ik werk nu vooral thuis en gebruik deze microfoon dus voor werken. (via Teams, Skype etc.) Maar ook gebruik ik deze microfoon tijdens gamen (via Discord). Ik krijg zoveel complimenten van anderen! Heel erg blij mee.
(Ook heel fijn dat je deze microfoon met USB kan gebruiken of via een mixer)
Nog steeds raar dat er een mic met geweldige kwaliteit voor deze prijs te koop is. Normaal gesproken gebruik ik een high-end condsentator mic voor opnames(podcast, voice-over ect) maar wilde graag ook een dynamische mic omdat niet elke ruimte geluidsdicht is. Maar ik was zo onder de indruk dat ik nog alleen maar de Samson qu2 gebruik. Hij is praktisch dankzij de extra usb aansluiting, dus met aleen deze mic en een laptop of tablet/mobiel kan je overal opnemen. Al met al ben ik super blij met deze mic.
This is a well made value for money mic, great for podcasting or broadcasting.
This mic is lovely. It records better than I imagined and my imagination is vast.
The packaging was great, the mic itself is amazing!
I tested it out, and boy, you can record some crisp recordings with very minimal background noise.
I very much recommend this microphone for podcasting, Voice Over and any type of studio recording. No wonder why I read all these positive reviews on this mic before I made the purchase.
I know everyone is crazy about Blue Yeti, but this is much better and it does not empty your bank account.
