For louder sources such as drums, percussion, amplified instruments and loud sound effects
The TC Series (Time Coherent) is designed for recording louder sources such as drums, percussion, amplified instruments and loud sound effects. Microphones in this series allow recording of louder acoustic sources without overloading the preamplifier. Models in the TC Series are often the choice for recording drum overheads, close miked or amplified instruments and sound effects.
Our least expensive general-purpose omni with high frequency response to 20kHz
- Ideal for a wide variety of instruments and vocals, including acoustic guitar, string instruments and piano
- For live sound the TC20 can be used for close miking instrument amps, drums or brass
- A TC20 under the strings of a standup bass or inside a kick drum will produce amazing sound
- A pair of TC20s connected to a stereo recorder will provide great results for recording rehearsals and performances
- Effortlessly handle high sound pressure levels up to 150dB SPL while simultaneously capturing subtle details
- The TC series provides all of the same attributes as the QTC Series in impulse response, diaphragm settling time and extended frequency response
- Exceptional flat frequency response and are time coherent, so they sound natural and uncolored

Models
Omni – 10Hz to 20kHz. The TC20 (same as the SRO) is great for a wide variety of applications. Many musicians use a matched pair for recording their groups in the studio or during a live performance. The TC20 is priced to fit the working musician’s budget and is a great choice for general purpose recording applications.
Omni – 9Hz to 25kHz. The TC25 was specifically designed for drums and is also ideal miking instruments such as guitar, string instruments and piano. Its high frequency response extends to 25kHz and it costs less than the TC30. The TC25 is an integral part of our DK25/R DrumKit™ System.
Omni – 9Hz to 30kHz. The TC30 (same as the TC30K) is our top of the line microphone for recording louder sources. It is a popular choice for recording as drum overheads and for close-miked acoustic instruments and amplified instruments. With a high frequency response to 30kHz it captures minute details and is the choice of many professionals.

For recording quieter sources such as vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, strings and distant miked 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.
- With a frequency response to 30kHz 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
- Intended for detailed sources and does not have most of the problems and limitations generally associated with competitive microphones
- 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.

50 kHz omnidirectional measurement microphone

The M Series has become the accepted standard for affordable, reliable reference and measurement microphones that are accurate in the time domain and frequency response. They are remarkably stable with respect to temperature and atmospheric conditions and are optimized for clean, very fast impulse performance providing accurate wideband response with virtually no handling noise.
- Our top of the line measurement microphone with extraordinary impulse response for those who have stringent requirements and demand the very best
- Ideally suited for acoustical measurements that require extended frequency response, including high-end loudspeaker design and quality control, scientific research, measurements of ultrasonic or subsonic transducers, or any application where an extremely accurate free-field measurement microphone is required
- Provides laboratory grade accuracy
- Omnidirectional polar pattern
- Flat frequency response, fast impulse response and exceptional polar characteristics
- Used by SMAART™, MLSSA™, Spectrafoo™, TEF™ and RTA in addition to acoustic measurement systems manufactured by dbx, DEQX and others
- Meets or exceeds ANSI Type 1 and applicable IEC 61094 requirements
- Requires 48V Phantom Power
- Each M Series microphone is delivered with its own calibration chart providing its individually measured open-circuit sensitivity and the frequency response curve
Electronic calibration files can be used to import the M50′s amplitude frequency response directly into your measurement system.
If you would like an impulse response chart with your microphone, you must make the request to your dealer at the time of purchase.
