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.
