The Samson Q2U is a USB and XLR microphone, and both signals can be used simultaneously.
It’s a dynamic microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, and it has an on/off switch which essentially acts as a mute switch.
This mic is a great option for solo podcasters because they can simply plug it in USB and be ready to go.
In comparison to the more popular Audio-Technica ATR2100, the Q2U seems to have a bit fuller sound with more low end.

The Q2U is a great starter mic.
I wish all Yetis would turn into a Q2U. It would make my job easier.
