Microphones are a key component for any music producer, and using the right ones at the right times is crucial to creating an unforgettable recording. One of the more portable and durable ones that has been gaining prominence is that of the Earthworks QTC 50 Omnidirectional microphone, given its compatibility in various places. The durable and feature-rich microphone allows for clear and deep sounds, whether you are on the road and recording on the phone, or comfortably in the studio.
Key Takeaways:
- Rich Tozzoli, who blogs for Ask.Audio, considers the Earthworks QTC50 omnidirectional mic his everyday, go-to mic, because it gathers sound with no coloration.
- The QTC50 has no proximity effect; translation you can place it right next to your sound source while using no artificial bass boost.
- Tozzoli has actually used the mic inches from clanging cymbals, specifically to deliver that seepage of coloration and overtone, which this mic can do extremely well.
“The QTC50 is an omnidirectional mic with some pretty impressive specs, which it certainly delivers on. The reported frequency response is 3Hz – 50kHz (odd that it reports up to 50 KHz since human hearing cuts off at 20 KHz though) flat, and it handles up to 138dB SPL without distortion.”
