please help where do i find the product model number ? i want to register it online

Dude, how??? My Q2U is picking up EVERYTHING!!!

​@@hakumoru I've been wondering the same. I tried lowering "input volume" in the OS sound settings, and that seems to help, but then my voice is too quiet. So then I "normalize" to bring it back, and all the noise comes back too. It sounds like I'm sitting next to a waterfall.

have you fixed it? @@ScottPigeon

to get rid of it you need a pop filter you probably know this already though since its been 3 years lol

I had the same problem and kinda just forced it in once. Now i dont have that problem

Aguacate Pawa Same problem here. Still trying to find a solution.

@@hungrydave OK, so I found the solution by contacting Samson support, they gave me the firmware update, that fixes it completely: www.dropbox.com/s/r9yrqt4kn5h22rh/Q2U%20automatic%20firmware%20update.zip?dl=0

i know im over 3 years late lol, but i ended up running into the same issue with my q2u recently, and i found the only fix for me was to use the mic through xlr. you could do it for as cheap as $30 with the fifine sc3 xlr audio mixer. it will def upgrade your sound quality as well

@@3shotzz1im trying an xlr hook up but do i have to have a mixer for the power to come on? because my power isnt coming on at all

@@SuccessFitness yea you need a mixer or audio interface in order to run xlr

@@3shotzz1 damn!!! 😂😂😂 not even a xlr to usb c adapter to a power box will give it power?

@@SuccessFitness as far as I know, that wouldn’t work unfortunately

You can have phantom power for it and no it will not damage the mic

You have to go to settings in your pc>devices>audio devices and then choose output from there you have to choose where you want your sound to come out from, could be monitor, speaker, etc.

Audio is actually good if not for the static hiss

im glad that they didnt use sound processing so we can experience this mic more real time. Every mic has background sound hiss, the user will use various equipment and daw to remove it, even with a $400 mic

@@meejmuas8686 If we dont touch the gain, no hiss sound for me on my Q2U USB. (m50x headphone)

So what recommended microphone for windows 10?? Hyper x Solo cast is good??

@@habibahmad654 I'm also currently deciding between the Q2U and solocast but i have windows not mac. Which one did you go with?

Finally, I thought I was the only one with this issue. Recording volume was too low so I had to set my input level at 100. Is there still no solution to this? I got a mac so I can record from there but I'd like to record directly from my PC through a usb port.

same here

Really late, but it's possible the USB on the mic side isn't fully plugged in.

You must configure the output or speaker to Samson Q2U. If you conect them and let your actual config, that will not happen.

The only other mics I have that offer both XLR and USB connection, are the ATR2100 and the AT2005 -- and both have that same limitation, that the headphone jack only works with USB. I don't know if there's a technical reason for that. Maybe it's just assumed that if you are using an XLR set-up, you can monitor your sound using a headphone jack on the USB interface.

The manual says "The headphone output provides a mix of the direct signal from the microphone and the audio playback from the computer." But like any device with headphone output, it would require power, so it should need USB power for headphones, even when connected via XLR. (I don't have this mic yet, so can't confirm 100%. Maybe a USB battery pack would be all that's needed, like when on the road with a recording device?) Btw, I'm wondering if when connected to computer via USB, it might be necessary to turn off the computer's audio output to the mic, unless it's really low latency and/or you actually want to hear the computer audio out mixed into the direct monitoring? (The manual says "4. In the Playback tab, select the Level tab and set the computer’s Master Volume to 100%. Use the Q2U’s Output Level buttons to control the overall output from the headphones or speaker. 5. To adjust the direct monitoring level in the Playback tab by moving the fader labeled Microphone.) I saw another typo in another paragraph that can confuse people, so the manual's not without errors.

Ada di toko ijo gan

@@ErfinFox bisa kirim link. Soalnya toko ijo merah oren semua iklan saja tpi ga ada stok

@@CheGuSyaifulOfficial nama tokonya idb musik plus gan. Cba cek.

Was gonna say. That doesn't exactly fill me with confidence when the company making the mic puts out a tutorial video with sketchy audio.

I know this is old. But the volume on the mic is meant to be turned way down, and the microphone goes closer to your face. No idea why they demonstrated like this.

Would you recommend the Q2U for a beginner in podcasting? Also how do you charge the Q2U, does it come with a cable and plug or we connect to the labtop/ or a battery? Because I am worried that in Egypt it is 210 volt higher than US (110V), which could ruin electronic devices. Thanks in advance.

You use the USB cable direct to your pc or Mac. I am using with my MAC and sound is good enough.

@@realtorroshan Thanks a lot, so I see it does not go directly to the plug to be charged. It is charged when connected to the labtop. I have MAC book too. sounds great.

@@realtorroshanare you still/ currently using this mic?

@@SuccessFitness I use it 100% of the time. It is a mic 🎤 that sound the best when mic is 3 inches away from your mouth. But the voice my god like a radio. Unbelievable. When it is far it is not rich sound and loses 50% of what it would sound when you hold it close to you. Buy it.
