Key Features for Stage, Studio, and Streaming
4K HDR Image Tailored for Concert Lighting
The 150-degree F2.8/15.2 mm lens captures a wide scene while HDR balances highlights and shadows. The 12 "Scene" presets-from "Jazz Club" to "Concert Lighting" or "Outdoor"-speed up your settings according to the ambiance, delivering clean results right from the capture.
Precise and Powerful X/Y Audio
The X/Y stereo capsules provide a realistic sound image, handling up to 120 dB SPL without distortion. Low-cut filter, automatic gain, and headphone/line output secure your levels and monitoring, whether filming in a rehearsal room or on a large stage.

Connected via USB, the Q2n-4K becomes a webcam and USB microphone for Mac/PC and iPad, compatible with OBS, Skype, and major platforms. You can also route audio to an iOS device for continuous streaming or record in MOV format on microSD (up to 256 GB) for an efficient mobile workflow.
Compact and Reliable Ergonomics
A color LCD screen facilitates framing, and the 5 FOVs cover from tight shots to wide angles. Power by two AA batteries (included) ensures autonomy on the go, while the Micro-HDMI output enables external monitoring or capture via a capture card.
