Review on 🎀 Professional-grade Samson Q9U Dynamic Broadcast Microphone with Versatile XLR/USB Connectivity by Kevin Kimbrough

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This mic is the BEST! But DO NOT place the arrow on a glass table! It's hard

I LOVE this mic! In my opinion it's better than the SM7B or something like that mic everyone has. I tried to buy it but had to do some research to see if it was worth it. I'm glad I stumbled across this and researched it! Sometimes high prices don't mean one thing is better than the other. This one is just as expensive. It changed the dynamics of my voice very well! My voice might be a little high and I didn't like it when streaming, but this one gives your voice natural depth. This isn't necessary if your voice is already low, you can turn off the bass, etc. The only BAD thing I can say about this mic is that it's heavy...and it requires a strong handle to carry it around ! And it's absolutely wonderful! But I do NOT advise you to mount it on a glass table with a strong arrow. I wanted to stream and BOOM! Moving the arrow shattered the glass of my desk just before I went live! I still use it on another glass table I have, my thicker glass art table. I just put aluminum foil between the clamps to keep the glass from breaking when moving. See 2nd uploaded photo. I didn't want to buy another table. I had a curved table so it was easy to remove the broken part and leave half of the table. And I added my art table to make up for the broken section. Simple solution! Buy a microphone, it's a BEST quality microphone! Just make sure you buy a strong arrow and a sturdy table to set it up! πŸ˜‰ Don't be like me and install it on a glass table with a barbell. It's too heavy to break your table! Yes, and it didn't require an audio interface or any sort of preamp to power it. It's plug and play. I just went into the system settings to adjust the microphone volume. I later bought a GOXLR Helicon that I haven't set up or used yet. And it requires NO phantom power! Maybe this review is too long lol
