The Earthworks SR40 is a world class multi-purpose instrument microphone designed for live performance and studio recording environments. For a microphone that delivers uncompromising performance both onstage and in the studio, the SR40/HC is designed to seamlessly transition from tracking vocals in the studio to miking acoustic guitar onstage and everything in between. The SR40/HC's near-perfect hypercardioid polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement, ensuring more gain before feedback and virtually eliminating phasing issues when using multiple Microphone. The extended frequency response from 20Hz – 40kHz reproduces sound with more depth and accuracy, especially for those instruments that include more high frequency overtones. It handles transients with ease, reproducing every detail no matter how sharp or subtle. Capable of handling sound pressure levels of up to 139dB without distortion, the SR40/HC can handle nearly any instrument. Its clean on-axis response provides maximum articulation up to 90 degrees off-axis, while rejecting off-axis noise and feedback from ambiance, surrounding instruments and nearby stage monitors thanks to its 32dB of rear rejection. This multi-purpose microphone is equally at home miking acoustic guitar, brass, woodwinds, drums, guitar amp, vocals and more.
