The Earthworks SR314 is designed from the ground up to meet both the expectations and desires of a modern live performance environment. Extended flat frequency response and a focus on time coherence set the Earthworks SR314 apart. Capable of handling sound pressure levels of up to 145 dB without distortion, the SR314 can handle nearly any vocalist. With a tight cardioid polar pattern, the SR314 is imbued with levels of sound isolation not found in other microphones.
