Thank you for purchasing the Samson Q6 Dynamic Microphone. The Q6 dynamic microphone
brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance to vocal miking applications thanks to its
low mass, neodymium element.
The Q6 is a hand held, dynamic microphone that excels in both live performance and recording
applications. Equipped with a linear frequency response for superior reproduction, it is also
designed to withstand high sound pressure levels. Extremely sensitive, it employs a tight super
cardioid pattern to reduce feedback. A special shock-mounted element minimizes handling noise
and provides additional protection.
In this manual you'll find a detailed description of the features of the Q6 microphone, as well as
instructions for using your Q6, and full specifications. You'll also find a warranty card enclosed-
don't forget to fill it out and send it in! This will enable you to receive online technical support
and will allow us to send you updated information about other Samson products.
Should your Q6 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained
before shipping your unit to Samson. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted.
Please visit samsontech.com/ra or contact us at support@samsontech.com for an RA
number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain the original packing materials and, if
possible, return the unit in its original carton. If your Q6 was purchased outside of the United
States, contact your local distributor for warranty details and service information.
Features
The Samson Q6 utilizes state-of-the-art
microphone technology and is
engineered to the finest detail. Here are
some of its main features:
• Ultra sensitive element picks up all of
the nuances of any performance.
• Super cardioid polar pattern
minimizes feedback problems
and effectively rejects signals not
originating directly in front of the mic
capsule.
• Extended range frequency response
for optimum reproduction and
exceptionally clear, crisp sound.
• Handy ON/OFF switch for on-stage
control.
• Special shock-mounting allows
movement of the mic element to
greatly reduce handling noise.
Rugged zinc alloy die-casting case
ensures reliable performance in even
the most demanding environments.
• The Q6 can be mounted on any
standard microphone stand (using the
included mic clip).
• Withstands high SPLs lending itself to a
wide range of miking
situations.
Low impedance output lets the Q6 send
a strong full bandwidth signal over long
cable runs.
Gold plated XLR Connector.

  • Page 2 As you move the sound source further away from the microphone, the bass response will gradually roll off. • The Q6 has a built-in wind screen which protects against most wind and breathing noise. Under adverse conditions, such as high winds, an optional foam windscreen (Samson part number, WS5) can be used.
  • Page 3 This can have positive impact—for example, it will cause your voice to sound much fuller when you sing close to the mic than when you sing at a distance. The Q6 is specially designed to be used up close, since it provides a built-in windscreen for removal of pops, sibilance and on stage noise.
