Earthworks SR30 30kHz Cardioid Condenser Microphone

A natural performer, the Earthworks SR30 delivers a transparent, true to life sound no matter what the instrument. The SR30 is a multi-purpose cardioid condenser microphone designed for instrument miking in live performance and studio recording environments.

Sonic timbre and frequency response stay uniform across the entire front of the microphone capsule, helping capture the true character of your instrument.

Its near-perfect cardioid polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement and ensuring more gain before feedback. With 32dB of off-axis rejection, the SR30 is ideally suited for capturing audio in highly ambient environments and near monitor speakers.

With a lighting fast transient response, the SR30 handles sharp attacks with ease, while still capture all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of your playing. With an SPL rating of 139dB, the SR30 delivers exceptional reproduction of without distortion.
