QTC40

About the QTC40

The Earthworks QTC40 is an omnidirectional pre-polarized condenser microphone featuring a wideband, low output impedance preamplifier. It requires 24-48V phantom power and offers an extended linear free-field frequency response from 3Hz to 40kHz with a deviation of ±1dB. The microphone has an extremely fast impulse response, low self-noise, very low handling noise, and uniform polar pattern with no proximity effect. It can handle peak acoustic input levels up to 140dB SPL, making it suitable for recording quiet sources such as vocals, strings, orchestras, choirs, as well as drum overheads and percussion. Each microphone comes with its own calibration chart and a mounting clip. The QTC40 is time coherent, capturing high and low frequencies without phase errors, ensuring natural and transparent recordings. It is widely used in studio and live settings for its accuracy and ability to reproduce sound true to the original source.
