Description
The Earthworks SR314 brings a rare level of accuracy to the handheld vocal mic category. Instead of the colored, mid-forward voicing common to typical live vocal mics, this small-diaphragm cardioid condenser delivers an extended, flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 30 kHz, paired with a Class-A amplifier circuit for low noise and low distortion. The result is a vocal signal that arrives at the console already sounding like the artist, cutting down on the corrective EQ, heavy compression, and de-essing that engineers often reach for.
- Small-diaphragm cardioid capsule with Class-A amplifier circuit for a fast, time-coherent impulse response
- Flat 20 Hz–30 kHz frequency response with dependable low-end detail up close and fullness at distance
- Tight cardioid pattern holds its frequency response out to 90°, with maximum rejection at 180° for strong isolation and feedback resistance
- Handles SPL up to 145 dB, giving plenty of headroom before gain-before-feedback becomes an issue
- Precision-machined stainless steel housing built to survive the road
- Standard 3-pin XLR output, phantom powered from 24 to 48 VDC for compatibility with most mixers, preamps, and interfaces
- Ships with a mic clip and storage bag
Because the SR314 keeps its polar response consistent and its off-axis coloration minimal, monitor engineers get more usable gain before feedback creeps in—useful on crowded stages, in houses of worship, and at festivals where wedge and monitor placement is tight. Recording engineers benefit from the same accuracy in live-to-tape or broadcast settings. This version is finished in stainless steel for a sleeker on-stage look that still holds up to the demands of touring life.
