All the Hardware You Need to Get Your Podcast Off the Ground

The Samson Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack provides all the external equipment you need to record your podcast. The bundle consists of the Q2U USB/XLR dynamic microphone, a desktop stand, extra cables, and a handy foam windscreen. The Q2U gives you two main recording options: recording into a mixer or straight into your DAW with no driver required. This dynamic microphone is excellent for many applications, including singing, narrating, and recording instruments. When you're on the go, throw the mic, stand, and a laptop into your bag to have your recording studio available anytime. Podcast enthusiasts here at Sweetwater appreciate that the Q2U has a built-in headphone output for monitoring your levels. The Samson Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack is ideal for the podcaster who wants to start a show on a budget.

Samson Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack Features:

  • Impressive vocal mic for podcasting
  • USB and XLR operation allows you to use the mic with a mixer or plug into your DAW
  • On/Off switch silences the microphone
  • Desktop stand turns any surface into a studio
  • Die-cast construction and metal grille stand up to punishment
  • Foam windscreen lessens the effects of plosives and fricatives, and protects from moisture
  • Includes USB and XLR cables

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 4.5/5

Almost perfect!

I have had it for about two weeks. It works well with my laptop during zoom meeting sessions.
Tested it with Audacity and material for an audiobook. I am pleased with the sound. The cardiod pattern really mutes the noises in the room. Now I notice a clock ticking that I never noticed with the old mike. I had to move the clock. I had previously tried a cheap condenser mic(generic brand) and was not pleased with the sound, and lack of directionality.
Out of the box, the pickup end of the Samson mic was unscrewed from the handle when I received it. I gave it a twist to put it back together. It works fine. I removed a half star.
The foam muffler filter might be good for wind noise. The manual refers to it as a pop filter, but it does not do much for plosives. I may get a real screen pop filter. The rest of the accessory gear was good quality.
The desktop stand is surprisingly good at stopping sound pickup from the desktop where my laptop sits with fan running.
I would buy this product again.

Rated 5/5

Easy to use and sounds great

Easy to set up and use with Reaper and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Sounds great to me for vocals. Nice packaging and includes all cables you'll need.
Music background: I make songs on my iPhone and computer.
Rated 5/5

Affordable, flexible, decent

I use this primarily for voice recording and videoconferencing over the USB interface, and as a backup mic for music over XLR. It's good enough at both, with clear sound over the expected frequency range, but the fact that it can connect directly via USB without an audio interface, without sacrificing XLR, is a killer feature. I've connected this to computers, smartphones and tablets (OTG via USB-C adapter) and it's worked well. Even the packed-in stand is rather sturdy for desktop use, and the middle piece is removable to allow for a low desktop profile.

The bundled XLR cable is clearly the cheap part of the package, and the windscreen was so tight and difficult to put on that I ripped the felt. Those are the only nits I can really pick at this price point.
