DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
OWNERS MANUAL
AUDIO
Thank you for purchasing the Samson Q7 Neodymium Dynamic Microphone.The
Q7 dynamic microphone brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance to
vocal miking applications thanks to its low mass, neodymium element.
The Q7 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 feed-
back.
A special shock-mounted element minimizes handling noise and provides
additional protection.
Should your microphone ever require servicing, a Return Authorization number
(RA) must be obtained before shipping your unit to Samson.Without this number,
the unit will not be accepted. Please call Samson at 1-800-3SAMSON (1-800-372-
6766) for a Return Authorization number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain
the original packing materials and if possible return the unit in the original carton
and packing materials
Features
The Samson Q7 utilizes state-of-the-art microphone technology and is
engineered to the finest detail. Here are some of its main features:
• Ultra sensitive, neodimium element picks up all of the nuances of any per-
formance.
• Tight super cardioid polar pattern minimizes feedback problems and effective-
ly rejects signals not originating directly in front of the mic capsule.
• Extended range frequency response for optimum reproduction and
exceptionally clear, crisp sound.
• 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 Q7 can be mounted on any standard microphone stand (using the includ-
ed mic clip).

Microphone Placement andTone Quality
Listed are some common microphone placement techniques. Use these sugges-
tions as a guide and let your ears determine what works best in your situation.
• Sound source less than 6 inches away from mic—Full sound, pronounced
bass, increased isolation from background noise.
• Sound source 6 inches to 2 feet away from mic—Balanced natural sound, less
bass, some background noise.
• Sound source 3 to 6 feet away from mic—Thinner ambient sound.
Guidelines for Microphone Use
• Aim the microphone at the desired source. Keep unwanted sound sources at a
135° angle from the front of the microphone (see polar pattern).
• Place the microphone as close to the sound source as possible.
• Use the proximity effect to your advantage:The closer the mic is to the sound
source, the more emphasized the bass response will be.
• Use a windscreen to suppress unwanted wind noise.
• Never cup your hand over the microphone grill.
Operating Notes
• The Q7 will boost bass frequencies when the microphone is between 0—6
inches from the sound source. As you move the sound source further away
from the microphone, the bass response will gradually roll off.
• The Q7 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.
• Withstands high SPLs lending itself to a wide range of miking
situations.
• Included foam-lined, impact resistant carrying case for convenience when
transporting the Q7 microphone from venue to venue.
• Gold plated XLR Connector.
Every microphone has a characteristic polar pattern that determines how well it
accepts or rejects signal coming from various areas around the microphone. For
example, omnidirectional mics accept all signals regardless of wherever those
signals originate (in front of the mic, behind it, to the side, etc.).
The Q7 can be connected to any mixer, mixer/amplifier, or mic preamp using a
standard microphone cable. As shown in the wiring diagrams below, connect the
female XLR end directly to the Q7’s gold-plated connector and the other end
(normally a male XLR end, although some mixers use 1/4" connectors) to the
mixer, mixer/amplifier, or mic preamp.

The Q7 can be mounted to any standard microphone stand (using the included mic
clip) or can be handheld;due to its unique mic element shock mounting, it
generates significantly less handling noise than most other microphones.If handheld,
take care not to cover the any part of the head grille with your hand. Be aware of a
phenomenon called the proximity effect which causes a noticeable increase in low
frequencies (bass response) when a microphone is close to the audio source.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 Q7 is spe-
cially designed to be used up close, since it provides a built-in windscreen for
removal of pops, sibilance and onstage noise.The key to developing the best mic
technique is experimentation, along with awareness of the general principle that,
the closer your Q7 is to a signal source, the greater the bass response.

In contrast, directional super cardioid mics are specifically designed to accept
mostly signal coming from directly in front, and to reject signal coming from
behind or from the side.The super cardioid pattern is utilized by the Q7 (as
shown in the illustration below). For this reason, the Q7 excels in environments
where there is a good deal of unwanted ambient sound—it delivers those signals
originating directly in front of the mic capsule itself while rejecting those that origi-
nate from behind.
The polar pattern also determines how prone a particular mic is to inducing feed-
back. Feedback is that characteristic nasty howling sound that occurs when a mic
is placed too close to a loudspeaker—the signal from the loudspeaker is fed into
the mic, then into the loudspeaker, then into the mic, over and over again until an
oscillating tone is generated. Because the super cardioid pattern utilized by the
Q7 is so good at rejecting signal not coming from directly in front of the mic,
you’ll find that use of the Q7 greatly minimizes feedback problems.
