This high-output microphone faithfully captures a wide dynamic range with exceptional midrange clarity. Its supercardioid pickup pattern provides maximum gain before feedback, while an advanced body design and pneumatic capsule shock mount minimize handling noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"rb9tk\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"highlights\" data-stream-id=\"1\" class=\"block-highlight block blocks-block-highlight in-view\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container mobile-wide\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"header center\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy So Superior?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"7pk7o\"\u003eThe Q8x's superior performance is due to the linear frequency response of its dynamic neodymium element. The response is flat with a slight boost around 8 kHz. This makes fitting vocals into live mixes extremely easy with minimal EQ adjustments. The microphone also features a supercardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection. This allows the Q8x to capture all the nuances of a performance with maximum volume and clarity, while reducing feedback and unwanted signals from outside the front of the mic. In addition, a high-saturation audio transformer further reduces hum and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image crop\"\u003e\u003cpicture class=\"picture\"\u003e\u003csource type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-320,f-webp 320w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-768,f-webp 768w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-768,f-webp 768w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-768,f-webp 768w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-800,f-webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 320px, (max-width: 640px) 768px, (max-width: 768px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 768px, 800px\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-800,f-jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-320,f-jpeg 320w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-768,f-jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-768,f-jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-768,f-jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ik.imagekit.io\/eylp4k0rq\/Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498.jpg?tr=w-800,f-jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 320px, (max-width: 640px) 768px, (max-width: 768px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 768px, 800px\" alt=\"Q8x-Ad-IMG-v2-Black-SA1498\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image crop\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot Just for Vocals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"x0syw\"\u003eThe Q8x is not only a great live vocal microphone.
