The Earthworks SR40V Hypercardioid High Definition Vocal Condenser Microphone is pre-polarized with a first-order hypercardioid pickup pattern directly coupled to a dedicated wide band, low output impedance transformer less preamplifier. The SR40V requires standard 48V Phantom Power. It features a flat frequency response from 20Hz to 40 kHz, fast impulse response, very low handling noise, near-perfect polar response and high SPL handling.
The SR40V is excellent in rejecting sounds at the rear of the microphone and providing more gain before feedback in live sound applications. Each SR40V microphone is thoroughly tested and measured to insure it meets its exceptional specifications. A mounting clip is included with the microphone. The SR40V is protected by U.S Patent No. 6,091,829.
Applications
Earthworks SR40V 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 micro phone and is actually preferred for faster settling. It is normal for phantom powered mic to cause a "pop" in the audio or recording system when initially plugged in or powering up. Mute the signal to speakers or headphones when phantom power is first applied to the microphone.
The excellent performance of the SR40V make it an exceptional vocal microphone in the studio or on the stage and is an ideal choice for vocals, voice-overs and instrumental applications. The SR40Vs extended frequency response, fast impulse response and short diaphragm settling time allow it to capture explosive performances while preserving the subtle nuances of artistic expression. It is excellent in rejecting sounds from the rear of the microphone and providing more gain before feedback in live sound applications.
Care of Microphones
Never attempt to disassemble the microphone and avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity. Allow the microphone to warm up to room temperature when bringing it inside from the cold weather. Rough handling may also damage the microphone even if no visible marks are left.
