Earthworks ETHOS XLR Broadcast Condenser Microphone

The ETHOS brings Earthworks measurement-grade capsule technology to broadcast and streaming. A 14 mm pre-polarized condenser element gives it a fast, open 20 Hz to 30 kHz response with the natural detail podcasters and streamers want, and the supercardioid pattern rejects room and off-axis noise so a voice stays present without heavy processing.

Built in a machined stainless steel body, it handles up to 145 dB SPL and runs on standard 48 V phantom over XLR, so it drops into any interface or broadcast console. It ships with a Triad-Orbit M2-R ball mount and a stand thread adapter, and is offered in silver or black. A genuine studio condenser priced for the desktop.
