Incredibly Flexible Mic!

The Earthworks Periscope High Definition Cardioid Microphone Series was originally designed for use as stand-mounted choir microphones. However, when top recording and live sound engineers saw these, they envisioned a whole new world of possibilities. They immediately realized that, with the 4-inch flexible neck and small microphone head, this High Definition Microphone could be positioned or placed where other microphones could not, such as under the strings of an acoustic bass.

Earthworks P30C Periscope High Definition Microphone at a Glance:
  • Easy positioning in tight spaces
  • Astonishing audio quality

Easy positioning in tight spaces
The P30C's microphone body can be placed parallel to the shell of a drum pointing straight up and the microphone could be pointed straight down at the drum head. The Periscope mics also allow you to mic guitars and other instruments, then re-position the microphone without moving the stand or boom. Periscope mics won instant favor in the pro audio world. The Periscope microphones have the same incredible specifications as their respective 30kHz models in Earthworks' popular SR and TC Series.

Astonishing audio quality
The new and unique P30C Cardioid High Definition Microphone will provide you with astounding audio quality. Its uniquely designed small head and flexible neck will allow you to get into difficult places such as under the strings of an acoustic string bass. The Periscope design also offers more flexibility and ease of use for standard microphone applications. Imagine repositioning your microphone without having to move the stand or mic boom. The Periscope's body can be pointed straight up and its microphone head can be pointed straight down in any direction. It is the ultimate in sound quality and flexibility and is ideal for a wide variety of applications.
