About Earthworks C30/HC

After meticulous engineering, the Earthworks C30/HC Hanging High Definition Hypercardioid Choir Microphone emerges as a pinnacle of professional audio capture for choirs and vocal performances. This high-quality microphone is a back-electret condenser type, boasting a wide-range, uniform frequency response from 20 Hz to an impressive 30 kHz, with a deviation of just +/-2 dB, ensuring every nuance of sound is faithfully reproduced.

Crafted with a single capsule, single membrane design, the Earthworks C30/HC is optimized for clarity and precision. It features an output level of 10 mV/Pa, adept at converting sound into an electrical signal with remarkable efficiency. The microphone's impulse response is exceptionally quick, with a rise time not exceeding 25 microseconds and a total settling time, including the rise time, of no more than 120 microseconds. This rapid response is crucial for capturing the transient details of live performances.

The hypercardioid polar pattern of the C30/HC is uniform in all planes, creating a hypercardioid of revolution that is ideal for directional audio capture. This innovative design ensures that the microphone excels at picking up sound from the front while significantly reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear, making it a preferred choice for environments where sound isolation is paramount.

With the ability to accept sound pressure levels up to 145 dB while producing no more than 3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the Earthworks C30/HC is both durable and capable of handling the dynamic range of powerful vocal performances without compromising sound quality.

The microphone's sleek dimensions, 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), make it unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing in any setting.

For seamless integration with audio systems, the microphone terminates with a 30 ft. (10m) long braid-shielded Canare StarQuad microphone cable, renowned for its superior noise rejection and durability. The C30/HC requires 48V phantom power, a standard provision in professional audio equipment, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.

In summary, the Earthworks C30/HC Hanging High Definition Hypercardioid Choir Microphone is an advanced, professional-grade tool designed for capturing high-fidelity audio with innovative features that cater to the discerning needs of audio professionals and enthusiasts alike.
