EARTHWORKS / SR314SB

The Earthworks SR 314 is a single-minded condenser microphone that delivers studio-quality sound even live. The class A amplifier circuit is carried in the small diaphragm capsule.

■ Microphone for vocalists
Earthworks SR 314 was designed from the ground up to meet both the expectations and demands of modern live performance environments.
The stainless steel body with beautiful and fine lines made by precision processing technology is beautiful in appearance and also has excellent handling performance. It is also designed to withstand tough environments such as live tours. Tough specifications with a steel housing, Earthworks' proprietary patented technology, a small diaphragm capsule, and a Class A amplifier circuit. A cardioid type condenser microphone with the fastest response in the world that can utilize studio quality sound for live sound.

■ SR314 sound
A sound that focuses on frequency characteristics that extend to ultra-high frequencies, time coherence, and high-speed, clean impulse response. These are the features that make Earthworks SR314 stand out.
By removing the distortion and noise that builds up with acoustics and internal components, you can deliver the true voice of the artist with the extra veil removed, rather than the sound of a traditional microphone.

■ Simple, concise, great sound
The SR314 aims to be easy for anyone to pick up in order to deliver the best live performance to as many people as possible.
With faster sound checks and improved monitors and in-ear mixes, you can focus on what's most important to the artist, the "music."
It also frees engineers from constant oversight of compensation EQ, heavy compression, deaging, and feedback.
In addition, the audience should be able to fully enjoy the benefits of the vocal sound that echoes comfortably during the mix. The SR314 ensures that the details and nuances of recordings that are often lost live are conveyed to everyone who shares the place.

■ Do not interfere with performance
In introducing studio-quality microphones into live spaces, the SR314 not only overcomes these challenges, but also makes a leap forward by consciously challenging a number of challenges that occur in dynamically changing environments. ..
The tight cardioid polarity pattern with consistent frequency response up to 90 degrees maintains the same sound quality even when the singer is off-center. Above 90 degrees it turns to extreme attenuation and at 180 degrees maximum attenuation is applied.
It also achieves consistent low-frequency characteristics over a wide range of distances, and its sound does not diminish even at long distances, and even low-frequency details are clearly expressed.
By combining these features at a higher level, the SR314 offers a level of feedback immunity and isolation from unwanted sources that no other microphone can offer.

■ "Studio / Stage" Make the two worlds more seamless
The SR314 does more than just provide studio quality on stage.
It's a vocal mic that not only provides studio quality on stage, but also allows you to seamlessly transition between the two worlds without compromising performance. It's the perfect mic for both stage performances and studio recordings.
