Enter the realm of audio excellence with the Earthworks QTC40, a 40kHz omnidirectional microphone designed to capture the most delicate and nuanced sound sources with unmatched precision. Whether you're recording vocals, strings, distant orchestras, choirs, or the gentle sounds of nature, the QTC Series (Quiet Time Coherent) sets a new standard in audio fidelity.

Unparalleled Precision The QTC40 is engineered to capture sound with unmatched precision. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures that every detail of your source is faithfully reproduced. Experience the subtleties and nuances like never before.

Extended Frequency Response With a frequency response that extends from 4Hz to an impressive 40kHz with a deviation of only +/-1dB, the QTC40 is in a league of its own. It faithfully captures the entire sonic spectrum, from the deepest lows to the most crystalline highs.

Time Coherent Response Unlike most microphones that smear the time domain, the QTC40 maintains a time-coherent response. Your recordings will sound incredibly natural and transparent, with no loss of sonic integrity.

Versatile Recording Applications The QTC40 is perfect for capturing the full detail of instruments in the studio, from strings to pianos. Yet, it's versatile and subtle enough to record the delicate sounds of nature, such as bird songs in the jungle. Its adaptability knows no bounds.
