Earthworks QTC50 Omni Microphone for Quiet Sources (Matched Pair)

About: Earthworks QTC50 Omni Microphone for Quiet Sources (Matched Pair)

The QTC Series (Quiet Time Coherent) is designed for recording quieter sources such as vocals, strings and distant miked orchestras or choirs. These low-noise omnis are also an excellent choice for drum overheads, close-miked wind and percussion instruments. Earthworks’ reputation for realism is based on these distinctive omnis. Time Coherent Response means these models do not smear the time domain as most microphones do.

Delivering sound so detailed and real, the QTC50 brings recordings to life and delivers a truly accurate snapshot of your sound.

Powerful Precision

With an extended 3Hz – 50kHz ruler-flat frequency response, the result is a more accurate representation of your original sound.

Accuracy Every Time

The QTC50 is time coherent, precisely capturing high and low frequency sounds with no phase errors.

Clarity No Matter the Volume

With an SPL rating of 140dB, the QTC50 has plenty of headroom.  And with no proximity effect, you can get it as close as you want to the sound source.

Professional products designed with professionals in mind

In audio, our perception of what feels real and natural is incredibly sensitive to resolution in the time domain. In particular, the level of detail present in the initial transient is responsible for much of our sense of content, meaning, and frequency balance. This includes defining attributes like “timbre”, “texture”, and “air”. Earthworks’ blazingly fast technology ensures that every performance sounds like life.
