Earthworks C30-S-W ChoirMic Gen 2 Supercardioid Hanging Microphone

The Earthworks Audio ChoirMic has long been recognized as the premier solution for capturing the delicate and dynamic sound of choirs. Renowned for its natural, lifelike sound, the ChoirMic Gen 2 builds on the legacy of its predecessor, delivering an even more refined performance with enhanced frequency response, lower self-noise, and improved polar pattern consistency. This microphone is designed to perfectly capture the intricate harmonies of choirs, making it the ideal choice for concert halls, houses of worship, and conference spaces. The new Gen 2 version features a sleeker, more compact design, along with an attached 30-foot (9-meter) Canare Star Quad cable for superior immunity to RF interference and better resistance to twisting caused by temperature fluctuations.

With Earthworks' Gen 2 technology, the ChoirMic's supercardioid polar pattern maintains consistent coverage across the entire frequency range, ensuring every choir member is captured clearly, while unwanted sounds from the rear are effectively rejected. This makes the ChoirMic Gen 2 a versatile and reliable microphone for any critical live or recording environment. Its enhanced compatibility with a wide range of preamps and input devices ensures that the microphone works seamlessly across different setups, and its flat frequency response delivers exceptional clarity and detail. The ChoirMic Gen 2 truly provides a broadcast-ready solution for those who demand the highest quality in choir sound capture.

Available in black or white, this microphone is designed, tuned, and assembled in the USA, ensuring a top-tier product with every detail carefully considered. Whether you're working in a studio or a large live venue, the Earthworks Audio ChoirMic Gen 2 is the ideal choice for capturing choirs in their full, dynamic glory.
