The flagship Q8x professional dynamic vocal microphone provides the ultimate in sonic reproduction for vocal and instrument performances both live and in the studio. This high-output microphone faithfully captures a wide dynamic range with exceptional midrange clarity. Its supercardioid pickup pattern provides maximum gain before feedback, while an advanced body design and pneumatic capsule shock mount minimize handling noise.
 
Highlights:
Why So Superior?
The Q8x's superior performance is due to the linear frequency response of its dynamic neodymium element. The response is flat with a slight boost around 8 kHz. This makes fitting vocals into live mixes extremely easy with minimal EQ adjustments. The microphone also features a supercardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection. This allows the Q8x to capture all the nuances of a performance with maximum volume and clarity, while reducing feedback and unwanted signals from outside the front of the mic. In addition, a high-saturation audio transformer further reduces hum and noise.
 
Not Just for Vocals
The Q8x is not only a great live vocal microphone. It's also an extremely versatile tool in the studio, perfect for a wide range of recording applications. Able to withstand high sound pressure levels up to 150 dB SPL, the Q8x makes vocals sound huge and crystal clear, but it can also handle close miking of instruments such as piercing snare drums, screaming guitar cabinets, and more.
 
Question the Status Quo
With a rugged die-cast body, hardened steel grille, and an improved pneumatic capsule shock mount to minimize handling noise, the Q8x provides reliable performance in the most demanding environments.
