Incredibly Flexible Condenser Mic!
Earthworks originally designed the P30-S Periscope high-definition supercardioid microphone to function as a stand-mounted choir microphone. However, when top recording and live sound engineers got their hands on these, they discovered a new world of possibilities. With its 4-inch flexible gooseneck, sleek form factor, and small head, this mic can be positioned or placed where other microphones could not, such as under the strings of an upright bass. Periscope Gen 2 technology further raises the P30-S's performance bar with enhanced frequency response, lower self-noise, improved polar pattern consistency, and wider compatibility.

Easy positioning in tight spaces
Periscope mics won instant favor in the pro audio world, largely thanks to their incredible flexibility — and we mean that quite literally! For one example, let’s look at drum miking. The P30-S features a flexible gooseneck that enables the microphone body to be placed parallel to the shell of a drum (pointing straight up) and the microphone pointed straight down at the drumhead. This little contortionist also allows you to mic guitars and other instruments and then re-position the microphone without moving the stand or boom.
The ultimate in sound quality and flexibility
First and foremost, the P30-S will provide you with astounding audio quality. Plus, its uniquely designed small head and flexible neck will allow you to snake it into hard-to-reach places; for instance, to mic a snare drum in a crowded kit setup. Thanks to its petite size and the ability of its body and microphone head to be positioned independently, the Periscope design offers more flexibility and ease of use for any microphone application — imagine repositioning your microphone without having to move the stand or mic boom!
