Earthworks unveils flagship Studio Vocal Mic
Earthworks have unveiled a flagship model microphone– the SV33. Its front address
cardioid condenser microphone, offers incredibly high resolution performance, providing
staggering realism and purity of sound for male and female vocals.
Featuring hand-tuned circuitry paired with a 14mm capsule, the SV33 delivers superior
audio performance with the warmth of a large diaphragm capsule coupled with the
stunning detail that Earthworks is known for.
Incorporating Earthworks’ patented polar technology, the SV33 delivers a near-perfect
cardioid polar pattern that is consistent up to 80 degrees off-axis. This
revolutionary performance allows the singer to move freely in front of the microphone
without sacrificing timbre or level. This microphone also has very low handling noise
and a built in windscreen to prevent plosives.
The SV33 excels at rejecting unwanted sounds at the rear of the microphone, while any
sounds that do come in off-axis sound incredibly natural and uncolored. It boasts a
frequency response of 30Hz to 33kHz ±2dB at 5 inches with self-noise of 15dBA, yielding
a 79dB S/N ratio. Its maximum acoustic input level is 145dB SPL.
Every SV33 is individually handmade in the company’s New Hampshire, USA headquarters and
is housed in an elegant aluminum body with Nextel Dark Black plating for low
reflectivity and durability. The SV33 comes with a flexible mounting bracket for
attaching the microphone to booms or stands. Each microphone comes in a custom designed
carrying case to protect the SV33.
