Earthworks SR30/HCMP

The Earthworks SR30/HC is a multi-purpose hypercardioid condenser microphone designed for instrument miking in live performance and studio recording environments.

Performance

A natural performer, the SR30/HC delivers a transparent, true to life sound no matter what the instrument. 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 hypercardioid polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement and ensuring more gain before feedback. With over 30 dB of off-axis rejection, the SR30/HC is ideally suited for capturing audio in highly ambient environments and near monitor speakers. With a lighting fast transient response, the SR30/HC handles sharp attacks with ease, while still capture all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of your playing. With an SPL rating of 139 dB, the SR30/HC delivers exceptional reproduction of without distortion.

Ideal for acoustic string instruments, brass, woodwinds, piano and drums.
