just because everyone ordered 2 to 3 mics i had to order another one ,that will make 2 microphone all together.the reviews for this microphone is awesome.

Great find, Gary. I've been using one for a couple years... great mic. Just ordered another. Thanks...

RAY004,

you have links for those reviews?

too bad it's not the Q8's on sale,
those look like the Beta 58's, and probably sound better than Q7,

I sprung for a pair too...don't know why..just because Gary talked me into it...

There are always good mic deals to be found...the trick is to find a "good mic"...at a great price..

I have never been a Samson fan...but I figured the mics are worth keeping for guest singers...We often have 3 or 4 guest singers on stage at any given time..so they will come in handy...Maybe they will be as good as my long time favorite AT's PR60's or the all around EV and Shures I use..

This will bring my mic total to 13..

Lee,

I definitely like the Q7 better than the SM-58. In fact, I used a 58 a couple weeks ago while doing a quick set for a friend and after the first song, I took a quick break, went out to my van and got the Q7 so I could finish the set. When I finished the guy who I was filling in for said "How about leaving your mic for me." He used it the remainder of the evening, brought it to me the next day and asked if he could buy it from me. I gave it to him as an early Christmas present and ordered another one today for when I have guest singers.

As for the Beta 58A I found it only slightly better than the SM-58, but for a guy with a deep, baritone voice such as mine it didn't seem to have sufficient sensitivity. I think it's probably well suited for someone with a higher, more powerful voice.

One of the other aspects of the Samson Q7 I really like is the finish. It has a great gripping surface that is non-slip and warm to the touch. No one has ever dropped my Q7, but they're sure dropped most of the others because of the slick finish.

Good luck guys and enjoy the mics,

Gary
