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.

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

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
