Polar Pattern and Vocal Capture

The microphone utilizes a cardioid polar pattern. This design focuses audio capture directly in front of the microphone, effectively minimizing ambient noise from the sides and rear. Position the microphone directly towards the sound source (e.g., your mouth) for optimal clarity and background noise rejection.

Presence Boost Feature

The Q9x includes a selectable presence boost. This feature brightens mid-range frequencies, enhancing vocal clarity and helping your voice cut through a mix without sounding harsh or brittle. Experiment with this setting to find the ideal tone for your voice or instrument.

Integrated Windscreen and Shockmount

The microphone is equipped with a dual-layer windscreen and includes a removable foam pop filter. These components work together to reduce plosives (harsh 'p' and 'b' sounds) and breath noises, ensuring a cleaner audio signal. The capsule shockmount isolates the microphone from mechanical noise and vibrations that can be transmitted through the mic stand or boom arm.
