This is the microphone you should buy. Period. Earthworks SR117 Review

[@EarthworksAudio]

Adam, a whole bunch of us at the office just sat down to watch this. This is one of the best reviews of our mics we've ever seen. Thank you SO much for your glowing praise of the SR117!!

[@Yutappy99]

This doesn't seem to be available in the UK though? Just checked Amazon and it's not on there.

[@DarkP1]

I would love to try this mic and see how it performs with my bad voice projection due a surgery, I usually rise the mids in order to be heard, when you guys plan to release this mic?

[@EarthworksAudio]

@@DarkP1 We already released it! It's available now from your preferred audio retailer.

[@MichaelVash7886]

Will there be changes to the icon pro? I have one currently (different account) but the background noise rejection would be helpful.

[@red_geist9741]

Holy cow, this mic is impressive for $199. What a great sound. Well done!

[@gustersongusterson4120]

Earthworks makes great stuff. There's so little coverage of pro audio that this is the first I've heard of it, thanks for the video! A lot of live folks are using the SEV7 these days, beats an SM58 at $100. I'd love to go with the SR117 but as a touring engineer there are some rooms where any condenser could be a problem and I'd have to carry dynamics anyway.

[@RufusKSala]

Fun fact: they’re called Earthworks because the company was originally established to do business related to big earth moving trucks. Then they got into loud speaker design, then ultrafast RTA mics so that they could properly measure those speakers…

[@DarkP1]

love the 4:3 video aspect, that mic rocks, condenser mic without picking every noisy and the sounding quality it's like shure $400 mic but no volume distortion if you don't speak directly to it, yeah I think you're right this mic is awesome.

[@JoseOnTheAir]

This is a beautiful sounding microphone. I think its great for voiceover or anything you through at it. I would be interested to see if they'd kept a capsule like this in a more studio style body. I think as I continue recording more on-site, I may have to test this with my kit to see how it stands in that use case aside from it clearly doing well in a stationary setup.

[@hareblix]

Wow, that audio quality is incredible. Price is great too. Beard is looking awesome too btw!

[@ochatach2]

Sounds incredible, sadly it's closer to $400 here in Europe from Thomann than the $200 from Sweetwater in the US

[@dreamcat4]

a condenser mic with good handling noise and good off axis rejection... what more could anybody possibly ever want? sold. couldn't agree more, and probably best new mic in this entire category since forever times. maybe as far back as the shure sm57. or at least one of very short shortlist. sadly in the uk (and de) here it's still about 10x the price of an eq'd behringher xm8500. but then that is not a condenser mic. great review and thanks so much for suggesting this thing... and especially as it hasn't been picked up / covered enough elsewhere. i say that because it's also nice to look around more broadly for wider variety of testing samples. or comparisons on different voices, instruments. and this mic is still relatively new mic atm. just lovely review, and can't wait to hear more wider variety of samples. made my day actually

[@Mr.Plutonium]

How's the noise rejection compared to the Ethos?

[@inepsaog9631]

Never thought I'd end up wanting to replace my SM7B with something cheaper than it was, love the sound from this so much

[@harryw9268]

What an unbelievable mic, that rejection on static background noise (fans etc) is super impressive. Any experience on how well it rejects keyboard and mouse noise?

[@Sebanisu]

Glad to see you're able to resume your microphone reviews.i still use my Samson Q2U because you recommended it. Though I don't know if I'll upgrade anytime soon. Good to know that this exists.

[@thesmallestatom]

I had the honor of using a matched set of Earthworks QTC-40 microphones to record classical music and choral works. Absolutely mind numbing performance and sound.

[@World_Theory]

Very impressively quiet handling noise.

[@chenchun8279]

Can you compare the microphones Heil pr37 vs senhheiser e945 or the Sr117 or any of the best mic you have please...

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

I am loving the sound of that mic. I will be picking it up. Thanks for the review

[@CoolJosh3k]

A good mic really helps, but I think what really makes things sound so nice is when knowledgeable people, like yourself, can clean up the output really nice.

[@blendragon28]

How do we remove the typing sound while streaming?

[@ApexLodestar]

A condenser microphone that rejects noise like that? My jaw dropped...

[@ARSENiK_Productions]

Glad the Mac Studio allows you to get back into mic reviews!

[@skaels]

Is there an easy way to attach this to my elgato boom arm?

[@EposVox]

It comes with an arm mount

[@Ottertuber]

What an amazing sounding mic! Thanks for the insightful review.

[@KunalVaidya]

Is it possible to use such stage mics as room correction or equalizer setting to make sure a certain audio frequency curve at the listener (to correct for color added by various audio equipments)

[@MisterNuDos]

I have a Blue Yeti Blackout, looking to see if I can snag this microphone for Black Friday. Would this mic be a good for streaming/recording myself for videos?

[@EposVox]

Yes

[@MisterNuDos]

@@EposVox thank you!

[@pawelkuzia]

I'd go a little bit off-topic, but... Cool aspect ratio! Matches your retro/vhs vibe really well :)

[@lawlesscs]

Holy balls. I absolutely love the sound of this mic. Definitely an insta-recommend for me. Great coverage as always Addie :)

[@jayedwardsuk5984]

Ok I'm wanting to sing house music my voice has more mids and highs generally high powerful voice. I'm conflicted, do I get a dynamic mic or condenser? Beta 58, Sennheiser e845, or this ?.any advice possible, I also want it to be wireless

[@SianaGearz]

Speaking of stage dynamics, have you ever tested or considered Sennheiser 835? AKG D5C? Also there's a condenser C5.

[@ГригорійМалков]

PreSonus Revelator Dynamic vs Aputure Deity VO-7U? What to choose for the stream?

[@edenorre]

Would you say its better than sm7b?

[@edword3457]

Thanks! Bought it, love it! Cheers!

[@raysyourvoice4148]

I'm all in on Earthworks

[@tekeraq]

Amazing, crisp and clear voice. Really impressed

[@FUNHOLE]

are you going to make a video about OBSKUR?

[@EposVox]

Yes

[@RolandDobbins]

Take a look at the Austrian Audio OC818. Customizable pickup patterns!

[@MAVOmusicYT]

I have my Shure SM7B with CloudLifter and Yamaha MG10XUF Mixer for 4 years now and other than mic main holders screw just gets weak and sometimes mic falls off from its place i had no issue with it. But this mic is just something next level. Definetely looking into when my mic comes to the end 🤟

[@timbury1336]

That microphone sounds great. I think I may be picking one up one, if I can find one.

[@AmericanIndianGames]

Man, this mic is great, now words can explain how good the feeling I felt listening this video and the VIDEO, being 4:3 adds so much... Anyways great content as always

[@iamKORHAL]

If you ever do an audiobook 👀

[@DVZNMedia]

though I hate the way you got here (apple bad lol jk) I'm glad to hear you doing mic reviews again man, you are the best!

[@NotoriousRKB]

Does this mic make the ethos and icon irrelevant?

[@EposVox]

Nah, they definitely have different sound profiles. They were never a budget mic option lol

[@SasuPsycho]

Too bad you can't seem to get that in the EU/Germany.😐 And not even close to 200 USD.

[@TheActualDylan]

FYI the link to your course in the description has "launch" at the end so 404's

[@EposVox]

Omg the bulk updater broke the links. Fixed, just gotta delete the “launch” at the end

[@jansafarik313]

Well... you shuld try DPA2028 to be impressed even more with condenser microphone :D . I have both of them BTW.

[@jerrodmcdaniel2043]

Great video thank you

[@nickwestDaGiant]

Is it better then a blue yeti

[@EposVox]

Of course

[@Mumus1987]

Behringer XM8500, maybe 40 dollar ? Sunds mutch better than podmic, sunds like Sure SM58. Maybe less mid range. Just saying ... :)

[@DarkSwordsman]

I know this is probably horrible to say... but some of the higher frequencies are hurting my ears. 😅

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

Any recommendations for a camera-mounted microphone for the very targeted recording of small animals (minimal distance about 0.3 m/1 foot) that ignores ambient sounds (and fan noise from the camera itself)?

[@OLOLENTA]

I was Looking for it just now 😮

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

Funny you mention the Rode Procaster, that's the mic I use. I got it several years ago used for $188 as a less expensive alternative to something like the sm7b. I have been satisfied with its performance.

[@vminator]

Their warranty seems a little shady. I'll stick to a 58.

[@lee.isaac.richard]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGG2Y6WHp7arpbssi=-VfnB3TWUFs9sbcf OK but this thing in CONCERT?? brought me to tears

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

This is the best Mic I have ever heard on your voice ever because everything either sounded boxy or grainy on your voice

[@MultiEaro16]

Hey! Could you make a video about probably best budget microphone Behringer XM8500? That would be actually be budget offering not 200 dollars.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Still way to expensive to be a budget mic but for an Earthworks mic that was selling mics for 800 dollars at one point this is pretty much the only exception to that rule

[@VyckaOBS]

200$ Seems good price. Here it's now around 330€ which is ~360$

[@tripxcz]

Yes it is and that's why I won't buy it in the Czech Republic. When the price is $200 then I will buy it until then, no :( Why is the price so high in our country?

[@1teemo413]

Sadly this thing is 330€ in europe...

[@ThisIsDavin]

Damn.... You got me interested 😂

[@HitKraft_icky]

Little Vodka, with a sunkist chaser... I can dig it. Great video FYI!!!!

[@EposVox]

Definitely not vodka lol

[@MxGiK3HuNNx]

I bought a $5 microphone that uses the 3.5mm jack and use realtek program to make it sound good and go tell me waht you think i use it everyday on stream

[@MrMelodyCold]

the behringer xm8500 sounds better

[@royswire8797]

"Hey there fellow music enthusiasts! 🎤 Wow, my microphone collection is seriously stacking up! 😅 And let me tell you, if you're a singer looking for top-notch sound quality, the Audix OM5 is an absolute gem. 🎶🎵 I've been using it and it's been a game-changer for my vocals. The clarity and warmth it brings to my performances are simply unmatched. 🙌 Whether you're belting out high notes or hitting those smooth lows, this mic's got your back. 🎙💫 Trust me, it's a must-have addition to any singer's toolkit! Keep on rocking the stage, everyone! 🎉🎶🎤" I just may try out this microphone that he's talking about the Shure 58 I have used for years Earthworks I have never tried before I may give it a go

[@SmokestormX]

What! You're not going to sing!?!?

[@EposVox]

No one wants that hah

[@jakobherbst9501]

xm8500 > rest

[@thewonderfultartiflette4733]

Why 4:3 for the video? Looks awful for me

[@NovaDoll]

First🎉

[@GewelReal]

when production of audio devices costs cents and it's being sold for 100s...

[@EposVox]

Definitely doesn't cost cents

[@curt8806]

You’d get so many more views if your channel name wasn’t so cryptic and hard to remember

[@EposVox]

That’s literally not true, in every way lmao
