For live performance & recording quiet and loud sources
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.
- 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
- Improved impulse response for faster and more accurate transients
- Shorter diaphragm settling time
- Extended frequency response to 30 kHz to capture a crisper and more realistic image
- Near perfect polar patterns that remain even across all frequencies and at any position within the pattern
Models
Hypercardioid – 80Hz to 40kHz. SR40V High Definition Vocal Mic - The SR40V achieves the recreation of the True Live Sound™ with its revolutionary circuitry by combining flat, extended frequency response with lightning fast impulse response.
Cardioid – 50Hz to 20kHz. The SR20 is an exceptional vocal microphone that provides pristine audio quality and more gain before feedback. Unscrew its windscreen and it is an excellent instrument microphone. It is priced to fit the working musician’s budget.
Cardioid – 50Hz to 25kHz. The SR25 was specifically designed for drums and is also ideal for a wide variety of other instruments. It’s high frequency response goes to 25kHz and costs less than the SR30. The SR25 is an integral part of our DK25/L DrumKit™ System.
Cardioid – 30Hz to 30kHz. The SR30 is the most accurate cardioid microphone on the market. With high frequency response to 30kHz it will capture incredible detail in music. It is the microphone of choice for a wide variety of musical instruments in remote and studio recording. It is also spectacular as an overhead choir microphone.
Hypercardioid – 30Hz to 30kHz. The SR30/HC offers all of the same characteristics and performance as the SR30, with a superb hypercardioid pick-up pattern. This is the microphone of choice for applications requiring the very best in audio quality and a tighter pick-up pattern where more off-axis rejection is needed.
Cardioid - 30Hz to 40kHz. The SR40 offers an extended high frequency response, extremely fast impulse response, short diaphragm settling time, exceptional cardioid polar pattern, and high rejection of sounds from the rear of the microphone. It is intended for a wide range of applications, ranging from drum overheads to miking a guitar cabinet, or as a solo microphone.
