Earthworks SV33 Cardioid Capacitor Microphone

Earthworks SV33 Cardioid Capacitor Microphone

The Earthworks SV33 is a front address cardioid condenser microphone offers incredibly high resolution performance, providing staggering realism and purity of sound for male and female vocals. Featuring hand-tuned circuitry paired with a 14mm capsule, the SV33 delivers superior audio performance with the warmth of a large diaphragm capsule coupled with the stunning detail that Earthworks is known for.

Incorporating Earthworks’ patented polar technology, the SV33 delivers a near-perfect cardioid polar pattern that is consistent up to 80 degrees off-axis. This revolutionary performance allows the singer to move freely in front of the microphone without sacrificing timbre or level. This microphone also has very low handling noise and a built in windscreen to prevent plosives.

The SV33 excels at rejecting unwanted sounds at the rear of the microphone, while any sounds that do come in off-axis sound incredibly natural and uncolored. The SV33 boasts a frequency response of 30Hz to 33kHz ±2dB at 5 inches with self-noise of 15dBA, yielding a 79dB S/N ratio. Its maximum acoustic input level is 145dB SPL.

Every SV33 is individually handmade in the company’s New Hampshire, USA headquarters and is housed in an elegant aluminum body with Nextel® Dark Black plating for low reflectivity and durability. The SV33 comes with a flexible mounting bracket for attaching the microphone to booms or stands. Each microphone comes in a custom designed carrying case to protect the SV33.
