Frequently asked questions

What is the polar pattern of the Samson Q7?

The Q7 utilizes a tight super cardioid pattern to reduce feedback and reject signals not originating directly in front of the mic.

How does the proximity effect impact the Q7's sound?

The Q7 boosts bass frequencies when the microphone is between 0—6 inches from the sound source, and the bass response gradually rolls off as the source moves further away.

What should be done if the microphone requires servicing?

A Return Authorization number (RA) must be obtained from Samson before shipping the unit; without this number, the unit will not be accepted.
