Earthworks

Everyone knows Earthworks Audio as the gold standard for measurement microphones and as a benchmark for studio clarity. But only a handful of the bravest artists and engineers know just how powerful their microphones sound during live and streaming performances. Pioneering musicians have figured out that Earthworks has mastered the polar pattern and that they own the time domain. Their microphones eliminate feedback and reject off-axis bleed — bringing that studio control and sound to any stage.

The World’s Fastest Microphones

Every design choice that Earthworks makes is about speed. The faster that small-diaphragm condensers rise and settle, the more lifelike the sound. This is why Earthworks microphones have that distinctive shape and look. They are built like stealth bombers to eliminate all reflections so that nothing slows down the capsule. This is how they capture every transient and handle the widest dynamic ranges. And this is how they achieve rise time speeds in microseconds.

Speed Matters

Just how FAST is a microsecond? A microsecond is 1 millionth of a second.
The average human eye blink takes 350,000 microseconds.
The average human finger snap takes 150,000 microseconds.
A camera flash is 1,000 microseconds.
The slowest microphone rises and captures sound and transients in 17.5 microseconds.
The fastest Earthworks microphone rises and captures sound and transients in just 7 microseconds.

Stainless Steel

To further minimize reflections, Earthworks microphones are machined from solid rods of stainless steel. All of their microphones are handcrafted by machinists and assembled by technicians in rural New England. Besides accelerating the capsule speed, each microphone is an investment that is rugged, durable, robust, tour-ready, and most importantly — beautiful.

Works of Art

Every Earthworks microphone is a statement. They stand out and telegraph that you care about build quality and audio fidelity. They show your professionalism and your dedication to your craft. They are synonymous with speed, professionalism, and boldness.

Company History and Philosophy

Since 1995, Earthworks has been trusted to sculpt the sounds of your favorite performances and concert halls. Founded by industry pioneer David Blackmer, creator of dbx, Earthworks has always held two fundamental principles:
• Amplification should be transparent. The ideal is to capture exactly what is present.
• Frequencies outside of the 20Hz–20kHz spectrum affect perception of sound; therefore, extended-frequency microphones are necessary for lifelike representation.
