Description
Description
Earthworks microphones combine a frequency response up to 30 kHz with high quality, high voltage resistance, precise directivity, and sophisticated design. Within that studio-quality range, the ETHOS pursues warmth without losing the charm of the voice. At the same time, it anticipates the needs of engineers, making it a microphone that truly "responds to the voice."
ETHOS also uses Earthworks' flagship-level capsule, making it ideal for a wide range of vocal recordings, from narration requiring a clear, crisp sound to singing requiring delicate dynamics.
●The sense of authenticity in the sound Whether or not we perceive an audio as "realistic and natural" depends on the movement of the audio over time. We are very sensitive to these changes.
The level of detail contained in a sound, especially in its initial transients, influences much of our sense of content, meaning, and frequency balance. It also defines attributes such as "timbre," "texture," and "air."
At the heart of ETHOS is Earthworks' proprietary technology that captures every transient in the sound, bringing every performance to life.
● Cutting-edge noise (plosives, microphone noise) prevention
ETHOS features a windscreen stack that provides an extra level of protection against plosives and mic rumble. It's easy to clean and replace. The combination of foam, mesh, and steel means even the most passionate and vocal personalities won't need any additional noise protection.
● Minimize handling noise
ETHOS features internal dampers and durable stainless steel construction to reduce handling noise and external vibrations.
The included ball-joint microphone adapter, the Triad-Orbit M2-R, allows for precise placement and adjustment, and works best with heavy microphone arms and stands.
Two color options: ETHOS in a beautiful stainless steel case, machined from stainless steel. ETHOS B is available in a matte black color with the same functionality.
You can choose the color to suit various scenes and environments.
