The Q9U is a dynamic microphone with both XLR and USB outputs. It features a humbucking dynamic neodymium capsule that offers enough output to seamlessly integrate into any setup without needing external gain-boosting devices. The analog XLR output allows the microphone to connect to any standard mixer or audio interface, and the USB-C port allows instant plug-and-play, driverless connectivity to a computer. The Q9U includes sought-after features such as a 24-bit/96 kHz analog to digital converter, zero-latency headphone output, and an onboard mute switch. The Low-cut and mid-presence boost controls offer further onboard sound tailoring options. An internal air-pneumatic shock mount isolates the capsule from mechanical noise. The cardioid pickup pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, minimizing ambient noise and capturing the perfect amount of sound without adding coloration to the original signal source. In order to reduce the popping and plosives, a foam windscreen is also included.
