Elevate your choral performances, theater productions, and house of worship audio with the Earthworks C30/C-W Cardioid Hanging Choir Microphone in a clean, architectural white finish.

Why Choose the Earthworks C30/C-W Choir Microphone?
Traditional hanging mics often struggle with muddy acoustics, phase issues, and lack of clarity for performers positioned further back in the ensemble. The Earthworks C30/C-W overcomes these hurdles by offering a remarkably uniform frequency response across all pickup angles. This ensures that every voice in the choir—whether soloist or section member—is captured with crystal-clear articulation, natural warmth, and consistent volume.
Key Performance Features
- Precise Cardioid Polar Pattern: Delivers a wide, smooth listening window while heavily attenuating off-axis noise, minimizing stage bleed, and dramatically increasing feedback rejection.
- Ultra-Wide Frequency Response: Features a 20Hz to 30kHz frequency range, capturing the delicate overtones, air, and full dynamic range of complex choral arrangements.
- Integrated Mini Gooseneck: Includes a discreet, highly flexible mini gooseneck right above the capsule, allowing precise physical orientation toward your choir or instrumental group.
- High SPL Handling: Built to withstand up to 145 dB SPL, ensuring pristine, distortion-free capture even during powerful, dynamic choral crescendos or full orchestra sessions.
- Premium Canare® Star Quad Cable: Equipped with an attached 30-foot (9.14m) white Canare Star Quad cable engineered to resist twisting, tangling, and temperature fluctuations.
- Discreet Architectural Design: The low-profile white finish integrates effortlessly into light-colored ceilings and church interiors, remaining virtually invisible to the audience.
