Achieve studio-quality audio for broadcasting, podcasting, streaming and recordings with the Samson Q9U XLR/USB Dynamic Broadcast Microphone. 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.
- Dynamic capsule: With humbucking coil and neodymium magnet for high sensitivity without extra noise.
- Cardioid polar pattern: Picks up sound in front of the mic rather than the whole room.
- XLR analog output: For use with traditional mixers and dedicated audio interfaces.
- USB-C digital output: Connect directly to a Mac or PC with 24-bit/96kHz resolution.
- 1/8" headphone output: With zero-latency monitoring to hear yourself without any audible delay.
- Robust construction: Swivel yoke mount is ready to be installed on any standard mic stand.
- Low cut filter and mid-presence boost: To tailor the EQ to your desired sound.
- Mute button: For both USB and XLR outputs when you want to be "off air" in an instant.

A: Yes, both are active at the same time.
Q: When I buy it in store does it come with a boom arm and it just the microphone
A: Just mic. Boom is separate
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.
