Product Detail
The Earthworks SR5314 - SB is a top - notch cardioid condenser wireless microphone capsule designed for Sennheiser transmitters. It comes in a sleek black color with a stainless mesh finish. This microphone offers incredible performance at the speed of sound, boasting massive headroom and a full dynamic range. When used with select Sennheiser wireless microphone bases, it captures natural, rich - sounding vocals. It delivers clear low - end even up close, and the sound doesn't thin out as the distance increases.
**Studio - Level Control on Stage**: It has unparalleled off - axis sound rejection, which helps reduce bleed and feedback, giving you a clean and professional sound on stage.
**Wireless Freedom**: Whether you're doing an intimate live - streaming session or performing at a local gig, it provides the flexibility to move around the stage while sounding as if you're using a wired handheld microphone.
**Quick Soundchecks**: With its clean impulse response and a textbook cardioid pattern, it ensures better monitor mixes, making soundchecks faster.
**Technical Details**: It has a frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz, a cardioid polar pattern, a small diaphragm size, and is powered by USB bus power. The signal - to - noise ratio is 79dB A - weighted, and it can handle a peak acoustic input of 132dB SPL. The output is via XLR (pin 2+), and the self - noise is 15dB SPL (A weighted). It measures 5.53” x 1.6”, weighs 1.5 lb, and is made of stainless steel. It's compatible with Sennheiser's Digital 9000 Series, 2000 Series, and Evolution G4 500, 300, and 100 Series. Note that with D6000 systems, it may take a bit over 3 seconds to warm up after the transmitter is switched on. We recommend muting the channel during this short warm - up to avoid distortion or noise.
Using the Earthworks SR5314 - SB is easy. First, make sure your Sennheiser transmitter is compatible with this microphone capsule. Connect the capsule to the appropriate Sennheiser wireless microphone base. Power on the transmitter, but if you're using a D6000 system, remember that it takes a little over 3 seconds for the microphone to warm up. During this time, it's best to mute the channel to prevent any unwanted noise or distortion.
When performing, move around the stage freely as it offers great wireless flexibility. It captures your vocals naturally, so you don't have to worry about the sound thinning out as you move away from it.
For maintenance, keep the microphone clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the stainless - mesh finish. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures. Store it in a safe place when not in use to prevent any damage. If you notice any issues with the sound quality or performance, check the connections and the power supply first. If problems persist, it might be a good idea to contact customer support.
