Earthworks C30/C-W - Cardioid Hanging Choir Microphone - White

Earthworks C30/C-W

The Earthworks C30/C-W is a Cardioid Hanging microphone that's perfect for churches that host choirs. Choir microphones have always presented a unique design and installation challenge – the traditional solution is to use an angle guide on the microphone’s lead to aim towards the performance venue. The problem with this approach is that either a very small microphone had to be used to keep aimable weight within practical limits or locate the microphone’s electronics at some considerable distance from the element inviting losses and noise.
