ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S
SPECIFICATION
The microphone shall be of a dynamic type
with hypercardioid polar pattern. The micro-
phone shall provide its output on a gold-plated
male XLR-type connector. Output impedance
shall be 150 ohms.
The microphone shall be constructed of a
zinc casing and shall contain a triple-plated
multi-stage windscreen and noise filter for the
removal of pops, sibilance and onstage noise, an
aluminum humbucking voice coil for the elimi-
nation of magnetic field interference and true
hum rejection, a Neoprene transformer cover
for the reduction of microphonics, a high-out-
put Neodymium element, and a multi-axis
shock-mount to minimize handling noise. The
microphone shall have frequency response
from 20 Hz to 18.5 kHz, sensitivity of -47 dBV at
94 dB SPL, and a maximum SPL of 137 dB.
Dimensions shall be 2.25
″
(57 mm) head length,
4.5
″
(114.2 mm) main unit length and 6.75
″
(172 mm) total length. Weight shall be 8.7 oz.
(250 g). The microphone shall carry a three-
year warranty.
The microphone shall be a SAMSON Q
MIC
.
