The Q2U's cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern picks up sound from in front of the mic, while rejecting unwanted sound from the rear and sides. Onboard, high-quality analog-to-digital converters provide excellent audio reproduction. Its dynamic capsule is great for miking vocals, instruments and amplifiers. The Q2U is a great mic for home recording. It even has a 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone output to monitor the audio you're capturing, as well as the audio from your computer. Whether you're recording a solo broadcast on your laptop or multi-person interviews through a mixing desk, the Q2U delivers high-quality audio effortlessly with minimal setup. If you're looking to start a new podcast, the Q2U is the best choice for creating a production studio on a budget. You can also utilize both connections simultaneously for recording a live event or performance. The Q2U can be connected directly to your computer or mobile device via USB or plugged directly into a mixer or audio interface with an XLR cable. Overall, the Q2U provides significantly improved audio over a headset or your computer's internal microphone.
