The Earthworks Difference
“Less is More”
2 Conventional Microphones CEILING The narrow usable portion of a conventional microphone’s polar re-
sponse (with full frequency response) provides only a narrow area that
FLOOR will pick up sounds without high frequency losses at the sides, as well
CEILING as above and below the microphone. To illustrate this, the figures in
pink show the pickup area of conventional directional microphones
(with full frequency response) in a conference room with 8 foot ceiling
at the left, as well as in the podium images below.
In contrast, the figures in green show the pickup area (with full fre-
quency response) of an Earthworks directional microphone, providing
(1) more sound level before feedback, (2) no spotlighting or highlight-
ing, (3) more rejection of sounds at the rear of the microphone, (4) and
an overall vastly superior sound quality.
