Faithful Reproduction of Sound

A hallmark of Earthworks microphones is their ability to accurately capture and reproduce exactly what is in front of them with no distortion. This high fidelity is due to our ruler flat frequency response.

More Gain Before Feedback

Because of Earthworks very uniform polar response, an Earthworks directional microphone will provide significantly more gain before acoustic feedback.

Superior Transient Response

Earthworks microphones have an incredibly fast transient response, which provides a more crisp and detailed sound. Sharp attacks, high frequencies and subtle details are all captured.

TC20

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

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

Time Coherent Series

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

For recording louder sources such as drums, percussion, brass, amplified instruments and loud sound effects

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.

SR40

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

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.

Cardioid polar pattern
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
Intended for a wide range of applications, ranging from drum overheads to miking a guitar cabinet, or as a solo microphone
Ideal choice for a variety of instruments including sax, flute, trumpet, guitar, piano, and percussion
Superior for vocals or choir because it doesn’t spotlight, rather, it uniformly picks up an entire section
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 artistic expression
30Hz – 40kHz frequency response, revealing subtleties in the sound that are non-existent from microphones with less high frequency range, and enabling musical performances to exhibit greater depth and realism
Extremely fast impulse response that enables the microphone to acquire fast transients far more accurately
The exceptionally short diaphragm setting time allows the SR40 to reveal subtle low level nuances in sound that other microphones mask
Near-perfect cardioid polar pattern ensures that the microphone will not beam or spotlight and provides significantly more gain before feedback than conventional microphones
The polar response also enables vocalists or instruments at the sides of the microphone (at 45- or 90-degrees) to have the same pristine sound quality as those at the front of the microphone, and in addition, it facilitates the use of fewer microphones with closer placement to the source, enabling yet additional gain before feedback in live sound applications
With an acoustic input rating of 145 dB SPL, the SR40 is a first-rate performer when it comes to capturing loud sound sources
Be it a guitar cabinet or a close miked trumpet or saxophone, the SR40 is ideally suited to handle challenging instruments
The exceptional rear rejection performance enables the SR40 to easily isolate instruments in a recording or live performance setting, thus minimizing acoustic bleed
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

SR30/HC

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

For quiet and loud sources

Earthworks hypercardioid microphones have patented near-perfect hypercardioid 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.

Hypercardioid polar pattern
Offers exceptional directional performance for guitar, sax, flute, drums, bass, and vocals
Ideal for natural sound combined with more off-axis rejection, or to reduce unwanted room sound
It can pick an acoustic instrument, like a guitar, out of an ensemble while still sounding detailed and life-like
Powerful tool for broadcast and vocal production applications because its clarity and detail enhances verbal communication
Open, uncolored clarity combined with off-axis uncolored rejection
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

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

SR20

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

For quiet and loud sources

It will accurately capture a voice with the same precision and quality up to 90 degrees off-axis, providing the same pristine sound quality at the front and side of the microphone
Up close the SR20 is warm, not boomy, while its unique windscreen assembly eliminates the popping of P’s
Patented design and uniform polar response provide more gain before feedback than other microphones
Unscrewing the windscreen of the SR20 allows it to become an instrument mic for piano, guitar, drums, brass, woodwinds and other instruments
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
