DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
OWNER'S MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing the Samson Q6 Dynamic Microphone. The Q6 dynamic microphone
brings a high level of accuracy and audio performance to vocal miking applications thanks to its
low mass, neodymium element.
The Q6 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 feedback. A special shock-mounted element minimizes handling noise
and provides additional protection.
In this manual you'll find a detailed description of the features of the Q6 microphone, as well as
instructions for using your Q6, and full specifications. You'll also find a warranty card enclosed-
don't forget to fill it out and send it in! This will enable you to receive online technical support
and will allow us to send you updated information about other Samson products.
Should your Q6 ever require servicing, a Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained
before shipping your unit to Samson. Without this number, the unit will not be accepted.
Please visit samsontech.com/ra or contact us at support@samsontech.com for an RA
number prior to shipping your unit. Please retain the original packing materials and, if
possible, return the unit in its original carton. If your Q6 was purchased outside of the United
States, contact your local distributor for warranty details and service information.
