Today I review a handheld condenser microphone with one of the best mid sections I’ve ever heard; the Earthworks SR314. The mids are neutral, the lows are controlled, and the top end are detailed and revealing. The mic suffers from plosives, but handles background noise and handling noise like a champ, and it’s built like a tank and made in the USA.
