Earthworks cardioid microphones have patented near-perfect cardioid patterns. The sound across the entire front hemisphere is remarkably uniform and is flatter at 90 degrees than most microphones are on-axis. The SR Series have an incredible transparent sound quality, offering near-perfect polar response and high rejection of sounds at the rear of the microphone, resulting in less leakage and more gain before feedback.

• The SR30 is our premium cardioid that maintains most of the characteristics of our omni microphones
• The off-axis rejection is substantial yet uncolored
• Its impulse response is very fast and smooth and the sound stays the same across the entire front hemisphere of pickup
• Ideal choice for a variety of acoustic instruments including sax, flute, trumpet, guitar, piano and drums
• Superior for choir because it doesn’t spotlight, rather it picks up an entire section or area with no hot spots
• Popular among concert tapers because of its open uncolored sound and among jazz enthusiasts for its ability to capture explosive performances while retaining the subtle nuances of artist

• Effortlessly handle up to 145dB SPL while simultaneously revealing subtle details that other microphones mask

• Provides excellent results for both live performance and recording applications
