Eins vorweg: Ich bin Hobbyist und Enthusiast und komme vom Shure SM7B, das mich einige Jahre durch diverse Podcasts begleitet hat. This familiarity can boost confidence because the speaker will know what they say will sound more like them.

Capacitor stage mics have been accepted in part because they outwardly resemble the moving‑coil models we know and love, but a typical pencil mic just doesn’t look the part for vocal recording. You can remove the foam shield for a peek at the inner workings, screwing it apart for any required maintenance, but there's no sign of loose parts causing issues here. Anyone who’s tried it will know that small‑diaphragm mics are perfectly capable of capturing the human voice. It's not too difficult to be swayed by shoddy cords that talk big but could lump you with shoddy components that may diminish the Ethos' performance. It should be noted that the ETHOS uses a small diaphragm (14mm) condenser capsule, which is very unusual for a broadcast vocal mic.The filter design is undoubtedly very similar to the famous Shure SM7b, and one that you’ll find is very effective! The ETHOS was already a great microphone but the addition of RX 10 Elements makes it a better value than ever.

The Ethos is a sure bet if you want a mic that sounds as neutral as possible but can deliver that warm FM broadcasting tone. Keyboard typing tests are usually at best seen as rough examples of how a keyboard will sound in real life. Earthworks ETHOS-B Includes: ETHOS Broadcast Microphone Foam Windscreen M2-R Ball Mount 3/8” Thread Adapter Earthworks ETHOS-B Features: Professional supercardioid condenser microphone Ultra-fast 11.Its low levels of self-noise and wide frequency range make it suitable for a variety of recording applications, from podcasts to live production. The Electro-Voice RE20 is a less sensitive, dynamic end address microphone more commonly used in these scenarios. ETHOS is equipped with a windscreen stack that raises the bar for plosive and wind noise protection.
