Earthworks SR25 Multi-Purpose Cardioid Small Diaphragm Condensor Microphone

The SR25 was specifically engineered to be a drum microphone and can be effortlessly handle up to 145dB SPL without distortion.  Its fast rise time and diaphragm setting time mean the microphone will not round off or smear fast transients and complex waveforms

Earthworks cardioid microphones are unlike all the rest, as they have patented near-perfect cardioid patterns. The sound across the entire front hemisphere is remarkably uniform and is flatter at 90 degrees than most microphones are on-axis. This results in uncolored off-axis rejection for recording and greater gain before feedback for live sound. They effortlessly handle up to 145dB SPL while simultaneously revealing subtle details that other microphones mask. All SR models are a superb value and will provide excellent results for both live performance and recording applications.
