Earthworks SR117 Overview

The SR117 from Earthworks is a rugged and versatile workhorse microphone that you can use on vocals and a wide variety of instruments for live sound applications and home/project studio recording. The mic features a 10mm condenser capsule that delivers accurate and clear reproduction of audio sources without the need for copious amounts of corrective EQ.

The SR117 features a supercardioid polar pattern that focuses audio capture in a tight, narrow band in front of the capsule, helping to reduce feedback problems when sound reinforcement equipment is used. In addition, the SR117 is nicely suited for recording sessions in untreated home studios and control rooms, as it picks up fewer off-axis selections that can color the sound. With the ability to handle SPLs up to 140 dB, the microphone can be used on very loud vocalists and instruments without distorting. Singers and musicians will also appreciate the enhanced protection from handling, wind, and plosive noise, allowing them to worry less about mic technique and focus instead on delivering powerful performances. A microphone clip and carrying bag are included.

Earthworks SR117 Reviews

Great Stage Noise Rejection

By Josh
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-09-08

This mic has a great flat frequency response, very good top end clarity without being too crispy and rejects stage noise very well. Especially good at smoothing out harsh vocals and giving thin vocals some meat.

Unreal clarity

Superb both on stage and in the studio. Clear, crisp, takes EQ like a champ.
