Earthworks SR30 Cardioid Condenser High Definition Microphone, 20Hz-30kHz Frequency Response, 100 Ohms Output Impedance

The Earthworks SR30 is a directional pre-polarized condenser microphone with a first-order cardioid pickup pattern directly coupled to a dedicated wideband, low output impedance transformer less preamplifier. The SR30 requires a standard 48V Phantom Power sup-ply. It features a flat frequency response from 30Hz to 30kHz, fast impulse response, very low handling noise, uniform polar pattern and high SPL handling capabilities. It provides excellent uncolored rejection of sounds arriving off-axis. The SR30 is protected by U.S Patent No. 6,091,829.

Applications
Earthworks SR30 is easy to operate. Connect the microphone to a microphone preamplifier supplying 48V phantom power using a standard XLR microphone cable. Allow up to one minute for the microphone to settle. Plugging in the microphone "hot" will not damage the microphone and is actually preferred for faster settling. It is normal for phantom powered mic to "pop" when plugged in or powered up. Mute the signal to speakers or headphones when phantom power is first applied.

The excellent performance characteristics of the SR30 give it a very wide range of application possibilities. In the studio or on the stage the SR30 is an ideal choice for a variety of instruments including sax, flute, trumpet, guitar, piano and percussion. It is superior for choir because it doesn't spotlight; rather, it picks up an entire section with no hot spots.

Care of Microphones
Avoid touching the front protective screen. Never attempt to disassemble the microphone and avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity. Allow the microphone to warm up in the case when bringing it in from the cold weather. Rough handling may damage the microphone even if no visible marks are left. When not in use keep the SR30 in its case.
