Description

The Earthworks SR40V Hypercardioid Vocal Microphone is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.

The SR40V is an industry standard vocal microphone. Superior performance and studio-quality sound is made possible by the handcrafted circuitry, which is especially matched to the capsule. Your vocals have never sounded this clear and dynamic! 

Superior Polar Pattern

A premium hypercardioid polar pattern remains balanced and consistent over all frequencies. This pretty much removes phasing issues, delivers increased gain before feedback, and makes placement of your mic much simpler. Wherever you move about the stage, you'll still have enough gain and excellent sound of astounding clarity. Vocals will remain clear up to 90 degrees off axis thanks to the mics efficient on-axis response system. Feedback and unwanted background noise is also effectively rejected due to over 30dB of rear rejection. 

Built for Every Vocalist

No matter what kind of vocalist you are, the SR40V will be able to accommodate your own unique style, power and volume. It can deal with sound pressure levels up to 145dB – all without any distortion present.

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones are known for their durability, high sound pressure handling, and controlled response. They are commonly used for live vocals, guitar amps, drums, and broadcast applications, where reliability and resistance to feedback are important. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and perform well in loud environments, making them a dependable choice for both stage and studio use.

Microphones

Microphones are essential tools for capturing sound in recording, broadcast, and live performance. Different microphone types are designed for different sources, environments, and uses, from studio vocals and instruments to live sound and field recording. Choosing the right microphone depends on factors such as sound source, room acoustics, sensitivity, and the character you want to capture.

Cardioid

Cardioid is a directional microphone pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while reducing sound from the sides and rear. It is widely used for vocals, podcasting, and live sound, helping to control background noise and reduce feedback in both studio and performance environments.

Hypercardioid

Hypercardioid microphones use a very tight pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting most noise from the sides. Compared to cardioid microphones, they provide greater isolation, making them useful in situations where background noise or nearby sound sources need to be controlled.

Because of their focused sensitivity, hypercardioid mics are often used for live sound, stage vocals, drum miking and dialogue recording. They do have a small pickup area at the rear, so careful positioning is important, but when used correctly they deliver excellent clarity and separation in demanding environments.

Vocal

Vocal microphones are designed specifically to capture the human voice with clarity, presence and control. They focus on the key midrange frequencies that help vocals cut through a mix, whether in live performance, studio recording or broadcast use.

Available in dynamic and condenser designs, vocal mics are built to manage plosives, sibilance and feedback while maintaining a natural, expressive sound. They are a core choice for singers, presenters and spoken-word performers across live, studio and streaming environments.
