Earthworks QTC40 40kHz Omni Microphone

Home / Microphones / Quiet Time Coherent Series / QTC40

The QTC Series (Quiet Time Coherent) is designed for recording quieter sources such as vocals, strings and distant miked orchestras or choirs. These low-noise omnis are also an excellent choice for drum overheads, close-miked wind and percussion instruments. Earthworks’ reputation for realism is based on these distinctive omnis. Time Coherent Response means these models do not smear the time domain as most microphones do.

With a frequency response to 40kHz and excellent impulse response, it will reproduce sounds with incredible detail that are true and life-like, making it an ideal and affordable choice for recording applications
Perfect for recording the accuracy and full detail of instruments in the studio yet robust and subtle enough to record bird sounds in the jungle
Intended for detailed sources
Omnidirectional polar pattern
Flat frequency response, fast impulse response and exceptional polar characteristics
