EarthworksSR314 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Vocal Microphone Stainless Steel
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Earthworks' SR314 is a small-diaphragm condenser vocal microphone for live performance and studio work. Its tight cardioid pattern is designed to provide sound isolation, helping keep the microphone focused on the intended vocal source in a performance setting. The 20Hz–30kHz response and time-coherent design are intended to present the artist's voice clearly. It uses XLR output and requires 24–48V phantom power, making power availability a key part of setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live vocal performances where a tight cardioid pattern and sound isolation are part of the setup.
- Studio vocal sessions needing the same SR314 microphone used for live-performance work.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups that cannot provide the required 24–48V phantom power.
