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
