M I C R O P H O N E
A versatile new addition the the Q
microphones, the Q2 employs a tight unidirectional
cardioid pattern to keep feedback to an absolute
minimum in high SPL vocal and instrument miking
situations. Its high energy Neodymium element pro-
vides maximum gain before feedback along with
superior sound quality and is enclosed on a special
multi-axis shock-mount chassis to reduce handling
noise. Featuring very clear and articulate sound, the
Q2 also incorporates a transformerless design for
extended low frequency response without distortion
and aluminum humbucking voice coil for quieter,
hum-free performance. It is equipped with a switch-
able 10 dB pad for use with high SPL sources and a
12 dB per octave high pass filter to reduce rumble
and other unwanted low end sounds. Manufactured
with the highest quality components, th Q2, like the
popular Qmic, includes a highly distinctive wind-
screen / noise filter that greatly reduces wind noise,
"pops" and excessive sibilance. Additional features
include a gold-plated XLR connector and a special
"Euro" adapter that allows the mic to be easily
mounted onto metric microphone stands.
