Combine the pristine, studio-quality clarity of a condenser microphone with the rugged reliability and feedback control of a high-performance stage workhorse using the Earthworks SR117 Supercardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone. Engineered specifically for live performances, houses of worship, and project studios, this handheld vocal mic delivers an honest, uncolored sound that allows any voice or instrument to cut through the mix effortlessly.
Why Choose the Earthworks SR117?
Achieving studio-grade vocal articulation on a loud live stage often requires fighting feedback and managing harsh proximity effects. The Earthworks SR117 solves these challenges by packing a precision 10mm condenser capsule and tight supercardioid polar pattern into a robust, road-ready chassis. Voiced with rich lows, vibrant mids, and open, airy highs, it provides maximum isolation from stage bleed while offering the foolproof reliability of a dynamic microphone with the breathtaking detail of a true condenser.
Key Performance Features
- Precision 10mm Condenser Capsule: Captures transparent, highly accurate vocal reproduction and instrument nuances without requiring heavy corrective EQ.
- Tight Supercardioid Directivity: Focuses narrow audio capture directly in front of the capsule to deliver exceptional off-axis rejection and maximum gain-before-feedback on loud stages.
- Extended 20Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response: Delivers a smooth, balanced linear response across the entire audio spectrum for natural tonality on any voice.
- High SPL Handling: Safely manages up to 140 dB SPL, preventing internal clipping or distortion even when utilized by powerful, dynamic vocalists.
- Enhanced Acoustic Protection: Built-in multi-stage filtering actively guards against wind, explosive plosives, and piercing sibilance.
- Low Handling Noise: Internal mechanical isolation ensures physical movement or stage shifts translate to absolute silence.
