Earthworks was founded in 1994 by audio engineer David Blackmer (who also founded dbx) with one obsession: build a microphone that captures sound exactly the way it happened. Their mics are flat, fast, and brutally accurate. Broadcast voice purists, drum-overhead enthusiasts, and audiophiles love them.
Most studio mics shape the sound — adding warmth, presence peaks, or rolloffs. Earthworks doesn’t. Their mics aim for a perfectly flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 30 kHz, with no resonances. The result: a sound that doesn’t flatter and doesn’t lie.
