Earthworks SR25MP 2ND GEN Overview

The SR25 Gen 2 (Matched Pair) from Earthworks is a stereo pair of condenser microphones designed specifically for capturing drum overheads, cymbals, and hi-hats for live performances and studio recording sessions. Each mic's supercardioid pickup pattern provides exceptional rejection of off-axis signal and noise due to room ambiance, instruments, monitor speakers, and similar sources.

Each mic features a condenser element that provides a warm, transparent sonic character with an even 20 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response. The capsule boasts an SPL rating of 148 dB, allowing exceptional reproduction of audio peaks without distortion and overload. This carefully selected matched pair of SR25 Gen 2 microphones includes two mic clips, two foam windscreen, and two storage bags.

New Active Electronics
The internal electronics have been hardened to draw less phantom power and additional protection features have been built in to safeguard against accidental hot swapping. We all know that you shouldn't plug in a condenser microphone with the power engaged but we also know that's an inevitability in the field sometimes. These new stacked changes make the SR25 Gen 2 more robust, more compatible, and more user-friendly.
Matched within 2 dB for Stereo Resolution
The wide and generous sweet spot makes these mics well suited for a wide variety of stereo recording placement techniques. A staggering SPL rating of 145 dB helps to ensure your attack won't distort or overload.
Built for Touring, Used Everywhere
The SR25 Gen 2 stereo overhead mics are incredibly versatile and built for live sound reinforcement. They capture all the details of a condenser microphone, but perform with the usability of a dynamic mic. This makes them ideal for streaming and video recordings and also for all studio work environments.
