Earthworks ETHOS Streaming and Broadcasting Microphone — Silver

Product Information

With its unmistakable visual presence, enormous versatility, and famously silky smooth top end, the original RCA Type 44 (continuously produced from 1932 to 1955) has secured its place as one of the. The trade-off to opting for a condenser instead of a dynamic is that they can also sound thinner, but that’s just not the case with the ETHOS. I'm not going to do the thing where I give you the full history of Neumann microphones and how the U 67 fits into it. It's probably fair to say that many of us don’t always like how our voice sounds when we hear it played back to us.

In fact, there is no hesitation recommending this mic for any type of production, especially for those in the broadcasting, voiceovers, and live streams crowd. The foam, grille and steel make it unlikely that additional proctection will be needed, even for particularly dynamic voices. Therefore we have been working to make a variety of attractive and convenient financing options available to you. The self-noise level is just 16db SPL (A weighted) and the handling noise is also low; it’s perfectly possible to use the Ethos on a boom arm without a shock mount.

While it is common for broadcast mics to have cardioid polar patterns, the ETHOS features a supercardioid response, enabling more focused capture of your voice with less background noise.

Considering its high SPL handling capabilities and full range tone, the ETHOS might also be a good candidate for snare or toms. The boosted sensitivity provided by the condenser setup over dynamic proves useful for accurately recording instruments, but the crisp high-end is a real treat for vocals. Eins vorweg: Ich bin Hobbyist und Enthusiast und komme vom Shure SM7B, das mich einige Jahre durch diverse Podcasts begleitet hat. ETHOS is a sure bet if you want a mic that sounds as neutral as possible but can deliver that warm FM broadcasting tone.The subtle nuance of how individual microphones can capture the character of a voice or musical instrument can make a massive difference. It is not for new or even mid-level streamers unless they’re looking for a “forever microphone” that will grow with them years into the future. The microphone offers a wide range of frequency response, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, which helps to capture the full range of sound in recordings. Earthwork Audio's Ethos B is an XLR condenser broadcast microphone with supercardioid polar pattern and removable foam windscreen. I used one in a studio for my Janet Jackson story in Volume 15, and the producers of the first story (about "stroads") and the last story (about hutongs) in Volume 16 both recorded with one at home.
