SAMSONQ7 Professional Dynamic Microphone

I wasn't expecting much from a £30 mic that I bought when I just needed something for vocals and the occasional V.o. I must say that it is a lot brighter compared to a SM58. It sounds a lot brighter and also makes the 58 sound slightly muddy and low end heavy. There is a slightly hotter output than an sm58. In conclusion, this would be great for a budget vocal mic that won't break the bank but will stand up to the rigours of live sound and possibly some studio or podcasting. My one gripe with this, not neccaserliy a major thing if used in a clip, is there is a slight handling noise. This may not be as apparent in a mix but is still there. Possibly could be removed with some light gating.Superb overall. Would recommend highly.

This mic is amazing value for money. I struggle with feedback because I need the mic to be loud in my monitor (I have quite a soft voice). I've tried Sennheiser 945 and found the SM58 better. This is even better though. I get a bit more level before feedback and the tone is good, and it's a quarter of the price! I am setting up a PA hire business and will be using these as vocal mics.

PLUS: I have two of these and I like these mics a lot, they are good value and are well made. Used with male and female vocals and while not up there with a Sure SM86 or even a Sennhiser 835 the response is good and pleasing to my ears. They are easy to EQ. The handling noise is not too high and would be, in my opinion equivalent to a SM58 but not as good as an SM86.MINUS:Possibly a bit heavy. the mic clips are not good quality and are a very tight fit. It is important to note that these mics are physically bigger than the popular Shure 57's, 58's and 87's so you need to use different stand clips. They come in a hard case but I would prefer a soft case like Shure or Sennhiser.OVERALL: Great value and a good solid touring capable mic with normal handling noise rejection.

Superb Super cardioid mic.....The SM58 is still my mic of choice but as an audio engineer this is a wonderfully balanced mic....slightly less bass than the SM 58 but more hf response....its a slightly biased mic more toward the hf frequency...great for vocals and instrument mic'ing...and a slightly hotter output than the SM58This mic requires less tweaking out of the box to sound great, but the sm can be eq'd for a multitude of environments and is the main one on the riders list for artistsFor the money this is a superb mic ...well done samson

I bought three of these at the same time to replace some SM58s that had gone missing after a gig. All three work identically as follows...Plus points...Great clear sound - Especially for female vocals.Good quality product with a good weight to it - They don't feel like they will fall apart in your hand.Look the part.Minus points...They have a bigger body than an SM58 (and most other) microphone so your existing clips won't fit. (I bought clips from CPC - Part number MP34450 and they fit perfectly).They can only really be used on good solid mic. stands that you won't be moving during the course of the performance as they are incredibly noisy with even a slight tap on the cable near the mic. or the mic. stand coming loudly through the P.A.

Really good Mic comes with hard case perfect for keeping Mic stored safely. Comes with mic clip. Mic feels heavy and sound quality amazing, such good value compared to top end Microphones, which don't sound any different to me. I sing in a band with two other members with different high priced mics and mine doesn't sound any different at all.

I bought this as a cheap alternative to an SM58 for live gigs in our local pub: its very stury (metal casing) and sounds great.

I purchased the Samson SAQ7 as a back up for my SM58 as it had good reviews and was good value.After using the mic i found that the response and clarity were nowhere near to my trusty sm58,The highs didnt really sound that great in comparison but hey,it only cost £28 against the sm58s £100 so not really a fair comparison as in with most things and definately musical gear/instruments etc you get what you pay for.Having said that I have used it for backing Vocals and the Samson performed well and overall sounded pretty good.Nowadays I use it predominately for Mic'ing up my Guitar to my Amp and this is where it excells in my opinion. it doesnt pick up to much bleed and with a bit of positioning to find the "Sweet spot" it does sound very good.Its not as great as the standard industry Shure SM57 but as i said earlier you get what you pay for..in conclusion-The Samson is a good solid,robust well made mic that is great for a back up,or if your on a budget/starting out I wouldnt hesitate in purchasing.Deano

Um dos melhores custoxbeneficio do mercado

These are great mics for live use! Better GBF and rugged as all get out. Highly recommended!

Fantástico

The mic is good for recording and live show as well. I've recorded some song using DAW, the sound was clear, noiseless. Fantastic mic.

Acheté pour une utilisation scénique hebdomadaire (micro choriste ou sur instrument à vent)(+) : Réelle impression de solidité. La finition est réussie. L'ensemble pèse assez lourd (plus de 300g) et est fait de métal.(+) : bonne isolation aux bruits de manipulation.(+) : le petit bandeau de caoutchouc sur la grille métallique évite au microphone de rouler quand il est posé à plat sur une table(+) : pince livrée avec le produit et avec une vis de serrage efficace(+) Impédance de sortie professionnelle 200 Ω ce qui lui permet d'être adapté aux longues de câbles plus importantes. Pas de problème non plus pour régler son gain d'entrée sur une console.(+) La directivité super cardioïde est idéale sur scène (bon rejet des larsens)(+) Adapté pour les voix mais aussi pour des instruments à forte pression acoustique (exemple instruments à vent)(+) Rendu des fréquences équilibré, pas de bosse trop marquée dans les médiums (contrairement à une certaine référence mondiale). Bon équilibre du rendu sur les voix ou les instruments même s'il est moins droit et qu'il monte moins haut dans les aigus que sa version supérieure le Samson Q8En bilan, il ne vaut pas la référence supérieure Samson Q8 (excellent microphone) mais pour le tarif c'est vraiment un bon micro. A recommander sans modération !
