About This Item

Easily integrated into any professional or home recording studio, the Q9U features both an XLR output and USB-C connection with stunning 24-bit/96kHz resolution. The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound, focusing the pickup in front of the microphone. A wide frequency response and large dynamic range ensures the detail and nuance of the voice are captured for a natural sounding performance. A pneumatic capsule shockmount and dual-layer windscreen minimizes popping, plosives and mechanical noise. The Q9U also includes zero-latency headphone monitoring, onboard mute switch, and seamless plug-and-play connection with Mac and Windows computers.

Q: Does this product work with the PS5? Would I be able to get game sound out of the headphone jack? Or is it just mic monitoring?

A: I think the USB connection is compatible with PS5 but not with XBOX. The audio jack is only for monitoring but you could also use that to connect to the 3.5mm microphone in port on your controller if you get a headset splitter.
