The best has been made better. The Earthworks SR25 Gen 2 features a stellar polar pattern, new active electronics, and a smaller form factor.
You hear the Earthworks SR25 microphone on nearly every online drumming channel. You see it out with all the top tours and best engineers. You feel it on your favorite albums. The SR25s have become the go-to cymbal, hi-hat and drum overhead microphone on top studio sessions, during the biggest festivals, and showcased on every drum video. They've been the hallmark of success and the fastest way to get the fullest sound. And now, the second generation builds on everything that the industry expects while improving on all aspects of usability and performance. Earthworks kept everything that you loved while giving you more of everything else that you asked for — and while typically used as stereo pairs, the singles are perfect for getting that extra sound on hi-hats and other speciality cymbals.
