The Earthworks SR40V is one of the highest-quality handheld mics on the market. If you need the best - this needs to be on your consider list!
Featuring a 9 mm back electret condenser-type transducer with a diaphragm measuring 5 microns, the new Earthworks SR40V is an engineering marvel that provides the fastest transient response of any vocal microphone on the market. Combined with a textbook perfect Hyper Cardioid polar pattern, this exceptional new microphone delivers superior sounding, natural on- and off-axis performance compared to any microphone previously available. With a frequency range spanning from 80 Hz – 40 kHz, the SR40V is the world’s first High Definition condenser vocal microphone. The end result is a natural clarity of sound with greater presence and depth than is customarily associated with vocal microphones.
Earthworks prides itself on delivering sound quality as close as physically possible to the original live source. Capturing this True Live Sound™ (TLS) is precisely what differentiates an Earthworks microphone from the competition. The SR40V's patented technology provides extreme accuracy in the time domain, which is essential for harmonics to be reproduced faithfully and not be smeared or distorted. The new SR40V achieves the re-creation of the True Live Sound with its revolutionary circuitry by combining flat, extended frequency response with lightning fast impulse response. This circuitry is handcrafted to match each capsule for optimum performance and is precisely what makes the SR40V—and all Earthworks High Definition microphones—so unique.
The SR40V’s build quality is every bit as impressive as its performance attributes. Each microphone is handmade in the USA and features a rugged stainless steel body that feels great in the hand—thanks in no small part to its unique blend of balance and precision machining. From end to end, the SR40V delivers industry leading reliability that is second to none.
