Using the Q2U with a mixer
Using the XLR Output you can connect the Q2U to a standard PA mixer for live sound applications
or when recording through an audio interface.
Connect the included XLR cable to your mixer
Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for setting the microphone level of the mixer or audio interface.
P-Popping
Sometimes when recording vocals certain plosive consonants (like hard "P" and "B" sounds) over-
load the input of the microphone which causes clipping and adds distortion to your recording. These
are some of the worst sounds that can make their way into your recording. Once recorded, they are
almost impossible to remove and can be very distracting to your listener. In addition to the dual
stage grill, the Q2U includes a large foam windscreen which reduces the effect of the blasts of air
from vocalists when pronouncing words that include these hard consonant sounds. The pop filter
also helps to protect the microphone element from moisture.
Stand Mounting
The Q2U includes a tripod desktop microphone stand. The desktop stand includes an extension
piece. This allows you to raise the height of the microphone towards the performers mouth.
Additionally, the Q2U can be mounted to any standard microphone stand using the included mic
clip. Simply screw the Q2U mic clip on to your mic stand or boom arm and adjust the microphone
to the desired angle.
