Broadcast Like a Pro

The Q2U dynamic capsule has a wide frequency response tailored for capturing your voice, delivering the perfect balance of low-end warmth and mid-range clarity. The microphone is less sensitive to background noise and other distracting sounds, making the Q2U great for recording in untreated rooms while still delivering studio-quality sound.

Highlights

  • Focused Sound

    The Q2U dynamic microphone is designed to capture clear and accurate sound, thanks to its cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern. This pattern focuses the microphone's pickup on the sound coming from directly in front of the mic, while rejecting noise from the rear and sides. This helps to minimize ambient or room noise, ensuring that your recordings are as clean and distraction-free as possible.

    Best of Both Worlds

    Q2U is the ideal microphone choice for any podcaster, especially if you’re frequently on-the-go or building a podcast studio on a budget. Onboard, high-quality analog-to-digital converters provide excellent audio reproduction when connecting directly to a computer or mobile device via USB. Alternatively, it can be plugged directly into a mixer or audio interface with an XLR cable. You can also use both connections simultaneously for recording a live event or performance.

  • Total Control of Your Sound

    The 1/8” (3.5mm) zero-latency headphone output with level control lets you directly monitor the audio you’re recording without any delay, and a microphone mute switch provides complete control during your projects.

One Mic for Stage, Studio and On-The-Go

With the convenience of digital and analog audio capture in one dynamic microphone, and broadcast quality sound, the Q2U is versatile and the first choice for home studio recording, content creators, as well as stage performance.

Made for Streaming

Quality video starts with quality audio. Ensure your viewers catch everything you say clearly. The unidirectional pickup pattern focuses audio pickup to what is in front of the mic.
