Earthworks Audio
Looking for a multi-purpose, high-definition instrument microphone for live stage performances and studio recording? The Earthworks SR25 is a professional cardioid condenser microphone engineered to capture acoustic guitars, drum overheads, brass, and loud guitar cabinets with transparent accuracy.
Experience uncompromising sonic accuracy and stunning transient detail with the Earthworks SR25 Cardioid Instrument Microphone. Designed specifically for high-energy drums, guitar cabinets, and complex acoustic instruments on live stages and in professional recording studios, this precision-engineered condenser microphone delivers an expansive 20Hz to 25kHz frequency response with lightning-fast impulse speed and incredible off-axis rejection.
Why Choose the Earthworks SR25 Instrument Microphone?
Traditional dynamic instrument mics often struggle to capture fast transients cleanly, frequently resulting in muddiness or high-frequency smearing. The Earthworks SR25 changes the standard by combining the transparent detail of a small-diaphragm studio condenser with the rugged durability and high-SPL handling required for heavy touring. Its near-perfect cardioid polar pattern remains consistent across all frequencies, providing exceptional gain-before-feedback on loud stages and pristine multi-mic isolation in dense studio mixes.
Key Performance Features
- Extended 25kHz Frequency Response: Delivers a smooth, uncolored sonic character that captures the true air, depth, and overtones of acoustic sources.
- Lightning-Fast Transient Speed: Effortlessly tracks rapid stick strikes, guitar picks, and sharp musical attacks without lag or distortion.
- Massive 145 dB SPL Handling: Safely manages extremely high sound pressure levels, making it ideal for close-miking loud guitar amps, snare drums, and percussion.
- Near-Perfect Cardioid Polar Pattern: Offers consistent directional performance with over 30dB of rear rejection to minimize stage bleed and monitor feedback.
- Shorter Diaphragm Settling Time: Prevents quieter, subtle dynamics from being masked by preceding louder transients.
- Tour-Grade Construction: Precision-machined stainless steel body built to withstand the rigorous demands of professional live sound reinforcement.
