Combining the convenience of digital and analog audio capture into one dynamic microphone, the slate Q2U from Samson is a recording and podcasting package designed to provide users with a complete mobile recording studio in one device. The Q2U delivers everything you need for podcasts, streams, studio recordings, or even live performances, with a rugged, die-cast dynamic microphone that can handle high SPLs with ease, high-quality 16-bit / 48 kHz digital conversion, and multiple connections for sending signals to mixers and PA systems, computers, or mobile devices, and to headphones for zero-latency monitoring.

The Q2U sports an XLR analog output, a USB Mini-B digital output for computers and smart devices, a 3.5mm for headphones, onboard headphone output volume control, and the unit can run entirely on USB bus power with class-compliant operation, no drivers needed. The Q2U comes complete with all the accessories you will need to hit the ground running, including a mic clip, desktop tripod, a tripod extension for greater flexibility, and long cables for XLR and USB connectivity.
