Earthworks SR314 Handheld Vocal Condenser Microphone - Stainless Steel

Product Information

It certainly allows the singer to move around the mic in a similar way to the 58, while being nicer-sounding and slightly more feedback resistant. It provides enough body and substance to create a well-rounded sound without ever muddying up the signal.

Audiences experience vocals that sit comfortably and easily in the mix, with every detail and nuance bridging the gap that so often separates live music from recordings. The Earthworks SR314 is designed from the ground up to meet both the expectations and desires of a modern live performance environment.

There is no polar response data supplied for frequencies below 400 Hz, but I suspect that the pattern is wider at lower frequencies, making it more susceptible to feedback in the low end (that’s probably also the reason why the off-axis response is so uncolored). This is a by-product of the mic’s extended low-frequency response and can be held in check by using a highpass filter or a foam windscreen (in some cases, I opted for the windscreen).It put across all the nuances of quiet passages, without ever becoming screechy or nasal when the time came to belt out the chorus; and it was always articulate without exaggerating sibilants. The SR314, as with all Earthworks microphones, is designed to reproduce an exceptionally natural sound with high fidelity and reliability.

No issues with feedback, dials in easily (didn't even touch the gain), just send it phantom and you're good to go. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. An instrument designed for vocalists, SR314 from Earthworks exceed the expectations and desires of a modern live performance environment. The SR314 has perfect clarity and smoothness making it easy for it to cut in a mix and sit on top without overpowering any other elements in the mix. People were actually making a point of it, including stopping my wife on her way into the venue to say how great it sounded.when I used to gig in the UK 10+ years ago, the one consistently great guy we had was also the promoter for the venue, so had a vested interest).
