Brand
Earthworks Audio
Looking to capture pristine stereo recordings of acoustic guitars, grand pianos, drum overheads, or choir sections? The Earthworks SR30mp is a factory-calibrated pair of cardioid condenser microphones engineered to deliver an ultra-wide 30Hz–30kHz frequency response with lifelike dynamic precision.
Achieve absolute spatial precision, immaculate stereo imaging, and uncompromised acoustic transparency with the Earthworks SR30mp Matched Pair Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones. Designed for elite studio tracking and demanding live stages, this factory-matched set bundles two high-definition SR30 capsules meticulously paired within tight tolerances to deliver breathtaking realism for instruments, ensembles, and drum overheads.
Why Choose the Earthworks SR30mp Matched Pair?
Capturing complex acoustic environments or stereo soundstages requires exceptional phase coherence and identical response curves across both channels. The Earthworks SR30mp set solves this by pairing two precision microphones that feature a near-perfect cardioid polar pattern and a transformerless preamplifier design. They deliver uniform directional characteristics and over 30dB of rear-axis rejection, ensuring maximum gain-before-feedback on loud stages and pristine multi-mic isolation in dense studio mixes without phase anomalies or coloration.
Key Performance Features
- Strict Factory-Matched Tolerances: Rigorously tested and paired to guarantee identical sensitivity and frequency response for seamless stereo imaging.
- Extended 20Hz to 30kHz Frequency Response: Captures the entire audible spectrum alongside extended high-frequency air, depth, and micro-dynamics.
- Lightning-Fast Impulse Response: Swiftly tracks rapid transients, percussive strikes, and intricate dynamic shifts without smearing.
- Uniform Cardioid Directivity: Maintains consistent directional performance across all frequencies to simplify multi-mic setups.
- High SPL Handling: Safely manages up to 139 dB SPL, making it robust enough for close-miking drums, brass, and high-output amplifiers.
- Complete Professional Package: Includes two matched microphones, dedicated mic clips, windscreens, and a secure transport case.
