Earthworks C30C
The Earthworks C30C-B is a black cardioid Choir Mic designed as a hanging gooseneck condenser with 30’ (9m) cable. This microphone is perfect for installation in churches and other venues. Choir microphones have always presented a unique design and installation challenge – the traditional solution is to use an angle guide on the microphone’s lead to aim towards the performance venue. The problem with this approach is that either a very small microphone had to be used to keep aimable weight within practical limits or locate the microphone’s electronics at some considerable distance from the element inviting losses and noise.
