When capturing the subtle nuances and dynamic range of a choir's performance, the Earthworks C30 Hanging High Definition Hypercardioid Choir Microphone stands out as a professional-grade audio solution. Engineered with a back-electret condenser design, this microphone boasts a wide-range, uniform frequency response from 30 Hz to 30 kHz, +/-2 dB, ensuring that every note is reproduced with high fidelity.
The C30 microphone is characterized by its hypercardioid polar pattern, meticulously crafted to be uniform in all planes, creating a hypercardioid of revolution for the C30/HC model. This innovative design allows for exceptional directional pickup, focusing on the sound source directly in front of the microphone while effectively rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This makes it an ideal choice for choirs and vocal ensembles, where clarity and isolation are paramount.
With an output level of 10 mV/Pa, this high-quality microphone is sensitive enough to capture the softest whispers, yet robust enough to accept sound pressure levels up to 145 dB with no more than 3% total harmonic distortion (THD). This versatility ensures that the microphone performs impeccably in a variety of settings, from intimate studio sessions to powerful live performances.
The C30's single capsule, single membrane design is complemented by an impulse response with a rise time of no longer than 25 microseconds and a total settling time, including the rise time, of no longer than 120 microseconds. This rapid response contributes to the microphone's ability to deliver clear, precise audio without lag or distortion.
Durability and convenience are also at the forefront of the C30's design. Measuring 10 inches (250mm) in length with a diameter of .860 inches (22mm), and a maximum head diameter of .540 inches (14mm) without the windscreen (and .9 inches (23mm) with the windscreen), this sleek black microphone is both unobtrusive and resilient. It is terminated with a 30 ft. (10m) long braid-shielded Canare StarQuad microphone cable, providing ample length for optimal placement and secure, interference-free connections.
To ensure seamless integration with professional audio equipment, the C30 requires 48V phantom power. Whether used in recording studios, concert halls, or houses of worship, the Earthworks C30 Hanging High Definition Hypercardioid Choir Microphone is a testament to innovative audio engineering and a top choice for those who demand the utmost in sound quality and performance.
