SR31 4
Premium Handheld Vocal Microphone
The Instrument for Vocalists
The Earthworks SR314 is designed from
the ground up to meet both the expectations and desires of a modern live performance environment. Stainless steel
is expertly sculpted through precision
machining yielding an instrument that is
beautiful to look at, balanced in the hand,
and sensibly engineered for life on the
road. Protected within its steel exoskeleton
(Fig. 1) is a studio quality small diaphragm
cardioid condenser capsule coupled with
a Class A amplier circuit that leverages
Earthworks patented and proprietary technologies to deliver one of the fastest mics
on the planet.
The Sound of the SR314
An extended at frequency response and
a focus on time coherence (fast clean
impulse response) sets the Earthworks
SR314 apart. By systematically eliminating the many layers of distortion and noise
normally added by each acoustic and electronic component, the Earthworks SR314
doesn’t sound like a traditional microphone - it pulls back the veil to reveal the
true voice of the artist.
Simple, Easy and Brilliant
The SR314 democratizes exceptional live
music experiences, making them accessible to everyone. Quicker soundchecks and
better monitor and in-ear mixes let artists
focus on what matters most - the music. Engineers are unencumbered from the necessities of corrective EQ, heavy compression,
de-essing and constant vigilance against
feedback. Audiences reap the benets of
vocals that sit comfortably and easily in the
mix, with every detail and nuance bridging
the gap that so often separates the audio
experience of live music from recordings.

Built for Live Music
The SR314 goes beyond the promise of
a studio mic inserted into a live space by
directly addressing the challenges and
pitfalls intrinsic to these dynamic environments:
• Tight cardioid polar pattern with a
consistent frequency response all
the way out to 90 degrees means
the SR314 delivers the same quality
of sound even when the singer moves
off-center.
• Extreme attenuation of sound
sources located beyond 90 degrees
with maximum rejection at 180
degrees.
• Consistent low frequency response
across a wide range of distances,
providing articulate detailed bass
up close while not getting thin with
distance.
The combination of these features imbues
the SR314 with levels of feedback immunity and isolation from unwanted sound
sources not found in other microphones.
