The SR30/HC (same as SR78) offers exceptional directional performance for guitar, sax, flute, drums, bass, and vocals. It is ideal for natural sound combined with more off-axis rejection, or to reduce unwanted room sound. It can pick an acoustic instrument, like a guitar, out of an ensemble while still sounding detailed and life-like. It is a powerful tool for broadcast and vocal production applications because its clarity and detail enhances verbal communication. For open, uncolored clarity combined with off-axis uncolored rejection, try an SR30/HC and listen to what it doesn’t pick up.

The SR30HC is an exceptionally directional condenser microphone that delivers a natural uncolored representation of sounds as they arrive at the front of the mic. Its iimpulse response is fast and smooth, so it maintains most of the being there quality of our omnis. The SR30HC cleanly picks up what it is aimed at while just as cleanly rejecting arrivals from off-axis. Yet, the 30HC's sonic timbre is uniform across the entire frontal hemisphere. The SR30HC effortlessly handles quite hot signals while simultaneously revealing subtle detail. When you use the SR30HC you will appreciate these seemingly incongruous qualities.

In the studio or on the stage the SR30HC can pick a real acoustic instrument, like guitar, bass, sax, flute, drums or voice, out of an ensemble and still sound real. It is perfect for any situation where you want natural uncolored sound but need supernatural rejection. Concert tapers love the SR30HC when they want to avoid bad sounding rooms. It is a powerful tool for broadcast and vocal production applications where its lifelike clarity and detail will enhance intelligibility and communications through realism. Its light weight, low handling noise and awesome ratio of open on-axis pick up to uncolored off-axis rejection make it an excellent choice for boom work.
