The microphone certainly looks the part, with its stainless steel finish and its broadcast-style, end-address capsule. But more important is the sound: Earthworks have crafted a mic that responds incredibly to the human voice, all while rejecting room sound, minimizing handling noise, and keeping any self-noise to a thankful minimum - even when are recording at high volumes.
Delivers a Great Sound
This is an end-address small-diaphragm condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern for minimizing the sound of acoustically imperfect rooms. On the tech side, the mic has been fashioned to deliver a rise speed of 11.7 microseconds, which means it reacts quickly and impeccably to the subtleties of voice. A hand-tuned, extended-frequency response of 20 Hz to 30 kHz ensures the mic not only reacts to voice, but captures it in a true-to-life manner.
Flawless Performance
The microphone works out of the box with audio interface to deliver studio-quality sound right off the bat. It's able to handle an SPL of up to 139 dB, which is quite high, and will come in handy for video-game playthroughs where one might be audibly surprised by the sudden arrival of a virtual enemy. Low-noise construction means the mic won't generate hiss or other machine sounds when driven hard. And, a built-in pop filter ensures won't incur p-pops from plosives, so can say phrases like "p-pops from plosives" without distorting the recording.
Quality Product
The Icon Pro offers an integrated M2-R ball adapter, so can mount the mic on any stand or boom. A 3/8" thread to bolster compatibility with all sorts of stands.
