Overview

The Samson Go Mic Mobile Handheld Q8 Transmitter is a wireless handheld microphone unit designed to work exclusively with Samson's Go Mic Mobile receiver system. At its core is a Q8 professional dynamic capsule with a unidirectional polar pattern, engineered to capture clear vocals and speech while minimizing pickup from the sides and rear. This makes it well-suited for live presentations, interviews, event hosting, and mobile video production where ambient noise control matters.

One of the transmitter's standout features is its 20-hour battery life from just two AA batteries, which eliminates the need for frequent battery swaps during long recording days or multi-hour events. The variable gain control on the body of the transmitter lets users fine-tune input levels on the fly, and the 100-foot line-of-sight operating range provides enough freedom for most stage and field applications. As a transmitter-only component, it serves as a replacement or additional handheld mic for existing Go Mic Mobile setups — buyers will need the Go Mic Mobile receiver purchased separately to use it.
