About this deal
We here at Front End Audio know exactly what it's like to be working with a budget while making gear purchases.
That includes PCs, the components inside, and any accessory you can connect to a Windows desktop or Xbox console. Keyboard typing tests are usually at best seen as rough examples of how a keyboard will sound in real life. It may be psychological, but having that knowledge can add something to a performance because it removes the nagging feeling that you won’t sound like you hear yourself.The self-noise level is just 16db SPL (A weighted) and the handling noise is also low; it’s perfectly possible to use the Ethos on a boom arm without a shock mount.
Considering I've needed to pick up additional shields to clip onto previous microphones, this performance out of the box is incredible. The Earthworks ETHOS isn’t your average microphone, and that makes sense because Earthworks isn’t your average audio company. The mic is relatively straightforward in design, with a solid construction that doesn't exhibit any rattling or weak joints.Based on Earthworks' reputation for building microphones with presence and clarity, the Ethos goes a step further, offering an intimacy and warmth that matches the sound of any voice while anticipating the needs of the sound engineer.
Offering ultra-high-quality recordings, this condenser microphone is super sensitive with a huge frequency range. You can be sure that the tone of your podcast, narration, commentary, or audiobook will be unmistakably you. When we speak, some of the sound we hear gets conducted through the bones in our skull, reaching us faster than soundwaves travelling through the air. In this way, consumers give each other guidance and give us the opportunity to continuously improve. I am also excited to try this mic on kick drum – I've used a variety of condenser mics on kick drum in the past, with excellent results.In audio, our perception of what feels real and natural is incredibly sensitive to resolution in the time domain. Nailing these transients is key to making your voice sound true to life — as well as any other source you might be recording.
