  • Page 3: Introduction And Features

    Congratulations on your purchase of the QSNARE Dynamic Percussion Microphone from Samson Audio! Since we understand that the snare drum is the most important and personal of all the drums in the kit, we carefully designed the QSNARE as a complete solution specifically for snare drum miking applications.

  • Page 5: Using The Qsnare

    Using the QSNARE Microphone Placement and Tone Quality When you mount the QSNARE to your drum, it will be easy to get a great sound since the mic is positioned so close to the sound source. You can make slight adjustments to the height and angle that will have an effect on the sound.

  • Page 6: Qsnare Characteristics

    QSNARE Characteristics Every microphone has a characteristic polar pattern that determines how well it accepts or rejects signal coming from various areas around the microphone. For example, omnidirectional mics accept all signals regardless of wherever those signals originate (in front of the mic, behind it, to the side, etc.). In contrast, directional cardioid mics are specifically designed to accept mostly signal coming from directly in front, and to reject signal coming from behind or from the side.

    QSNARE Specifications The QSNARE can be connected to any mixer, mixer/amplifier, or mic preamp using a standard microphone cable. As shown in the wiring diagrams below, con- nect the female XLR end directly to the QSNARE’s gold-plated connector and the other end (normally a male XLR end, although some mixers use 1/4" connec- tors) to the mixer, mixer/amplifier, or mic preamp.
