"The World's Most Accurate Microphone" - Sweetwater Sound
![]()
High Resolution Microphones for Studio and Field Recording
The Earthworks QTC40 provides flat, extended frequency response, superb impulse response, very high sensitivity and that great Earthworks sound with very low self noise. It is an extraordinarily accurate microphone, typically within ±0.5dB from 20Hz to 20kHz. More importantly, the QTC40's impulse response is the cleanest we have measured. We believe Impulse information is embedded within the tones of music is the detail needed to capture the experience of being there. Clean impulse response allows the QTC40 to transduce wave forms exactly, so the QTC40 will provide a true and accurate representation of sonic events as they happened in the air creating the experience of being there. The QTC40 is a wonderful microphone for ambient miking and is also superb for close miking any acoustical source. It will capture the full size and natural texture of many difficult and complex sources. The QTC40 is perfect for everything: Percussion, Piano, Guitar, Upright Bass, Strings, Vocals, Brass, Woodwinds, and location recording of Classical, Jazz, Ethnic, Folk and Pop music. It is also useful for Foley, ADR, Sound Effects, Sampling and even the subsonic mating calls of elephants. The QTC40mp is your best choice for all applications where natural, uncolored sound is the desired result. If you prefer transparent to discolored this is the microphone of your dreams.
