THE FLAGSHIP CYMBAL & HI-HAT MICROPHONE
$619.00
Seen everywhere. Heard everywhere.
You hear the Earthworks SR25 cymbal microphone on nearly every online drumming channel. You see it out with all the top tours and best engineers. You feel it on your favorite albums. The SR25s have become the go-to cymbal, hi-hat and drum overhead microphone on top studio sessions, during the biggest festivals, and showcased on every drum video. They’ve been the hallmark of success and the fastest way to get the fullest sound. And now, the second generation builds on everything that the industry expects while improving on all aspects of usability and performance. We kept everything that you loved while giving you more of everything else that you asked for — and while typically used as stereo pairs, the singles are perfect for getting that extra sound on hi-hats and other speciality cymbals.
New Active Electronics
We’ve hardened the internal electronics to draw less phantom power and we’ve built in additional protection features to safeguard against accidental hot swapping. We all know that you shouldn’t plug in a condenser microphone with the power engaged but we also know that’s an inevitably in the field sometimes. These new stacked changes make the SR25 Gen 2 more robust, more compatible, and more user-friendly.
Staggering SPL Handling
The wide and generous sweetspot makes these microphones ideal for capturing hi-hats and cymbals. And with a staggering SPL rating of 145dB – your attack will never distort or overload.
Built for touring. But used everywhere.
The 2nd Gen SR25 hi-hat and cymbal microphone is incredibly versatile and is built for live sound reinforcement. It captures all the details of a condenser microphone, but performs with the usability of a dynamic mic. This makes it ideal for streaming and video recordings and also for all studio work environments.
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.
