For recording quieter sources such as vocals, strings, orchestras and choirs

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.

• Omnidirectional polar pattern
• Accurate and uncolored
• QTC microphones handle sound levels up to 142dB with no proximity effect or handling noise
• All models are available in matched pairs
• No handling noise

Models

Omni – 6Hz to 30kHz. The QTC30 is an economical alternative to our popular QTC40 (same as the QTC1). Its 30kHz high frequency response and small size make it ideal for capturing high quality sound where space is a concern. The QTC30 is an excellent choice in cost vs. performance.

Omni – 4Hz to 40kHz. Our most popular microphone! The QTC40 (same as the QTC1) is the microphone of choice for demanding professionals in studio and remote recording. No serious recording studio or recordist should be without one.

Omni – 3Hz to 50kHz. The QTC50 is the microphone for those who demand the very best. It is ideal for digital recording with sample rates up to 192kHz, and even higher where every nuance of sound must be captured.
