The Earthworks Audio Periscope microphone has been renowned for its versatility in capturing a wide range of sound sources, from solo instruments to ensembles and choirs. With the new Periscope Gen 2, you’ll experience enhanced frequency response, lower self-noise, improved polar pattern consistency, and broader compatibility—all in a sleeker, more compact design.

Features
Flexible Gooseneck: The Periscope’s design makes low-profile instrument and choir miking easy by letting you aim the microphone’s capsule at the source while keeping the body inline with the stand
Flat Frequency Response with Exceptionally Low Noise: Enjoy studio-quality clarity and detail, capturing broadcast-grade sound whether the source is close-up or distant
Consistent Polar Response: Earthworks Gen 2 technology ensures that the supercardioid polar pattern is consistent across the entire frequency range, delivering natural, lifelike sound in the entire front hemisphere, with highly effective rejection of unwanted sounds across the rear
Enhanced Compatibility: Gen 2 circuitry reduces phantom power consumption and maximizes compatibility across all preamp and input types
Professional & Versatile: Equally at home in recording studios and critical live sound environments
Designed, tuned and assembled in the USA.
Earthworks was formed by David Blackmer, the inventor of dbx, to realize his vision of upgrading the entire audio chain to a new standard of sonic realism. David's goal of creating high definition tools with which to capture the sound and experience of "being there" is based upon a strong evidence that there is more to human hearing than the range of frequencies which can be heard as tones. We are convinced that audio equipment with extended frequency response and faster, cleaner time domain performance will yield more life-like results. Traditional audio methadology appears to be based on working around the limitations, imperfections, and personality quirks of the equipment, and calling the ones you like "assets". WE believe that any part of the audio chain can be improved to the point where the standard is so high that any product meeting it will be indistinguishable from any other product meeting the same standard, and that an audio system built to such standard can achieve sonic reality. This standard, for electronic equipment, is met by our Zero Distortion Technology. We support the concept of recording acoustic events accurately enough to capture the sound as it happened in the room. This approah allows you to make sonic coloration and texture choices later, when you can consider them carefully and still have recourse. Life-like accuracy is the best starting point for whatever unique coloration you may wish to add.
