Earthworks QTC40mp + 1022 ZDT

Product Description

The Earthworks QTC40mp + 1022 ZDT bundles together the a factory-matched pair of QTC40 omnidirectional condenser microphones with the 1022 ZDT two-channel ultra clean preamp with zero distortion technology.

QTC40 Matched Pair

Delivering sound so detailed and real, the Earthworks QTC40 brings recordings to life and delivers a truly accurate snapshot of your sound. Its near-perfect omnidirectional polar pattern is uniform across all specified frequencies, letting the microphone capture rich and consistent detail at any position around the capsule.

With an extended 3 Hz – 40 kHz ruler-flat frequency response (with no frequencies exaggerated or attenuated) the result is a more accurate representation of the original sound.

The QTC40 is time coherent, precisely capturing high and low frequency sounds with no phase errors, which will smear transients and create other time related distortions.

With an SPL rating of 140 dB the QTC40 has plenty of headroom, so there is no need to worry about the microphone distorting. And there is no proximity effect, you can get the QTC40 as close as you want to the sound source.

Ideal for recording quieter sources such as vocals, strings and distant miked orchestras or choirs, these low noise omnis are also an excellent choice for drum overheads, close-miked wind and percussion instruments, and foley.

1022 Two-channel Preamp

The Earthworks 1022 belongs to the ZDT series. The ZDT preamplifier series is based on all new discrete circuitry designed by David Blackmer, establishing a new standard of sonic excellence in electronics. This exacting new standard provides frequency response from 1Hz to 200kHz +0.5dB, an incredible rise time of 0.27 microseconds and distortion of less than 1 part per million (0.0001%) - eliminating all possibility of sonic degradation. These preamps are so fast, so clean and so transparent that you don't even know they are there. It is like plugging your microphone into a "piece of wire with gain." You will hear clarity and detail with the ZDT preamps that is not available in any other preamp at any price. Check one out for your studio or other applications that demand the highest quality electronics.

FEATURES:

• Zero Distortion – less than one part per million
• High output level +30 dBu
• Very low output impedance will drive long lines without interference or signal loss
• True 48 volt phantom, polarity reverse & clip indicator
• Separate XLR & 1/4” Phone (t-r-s) outputs, each with its own gain/level controls
• 1/4” phone connector output will drive balanced or unbalanced inputs
• Full differential (balanced) from XLR in to XLR out – no internal conversion to single-ended
• All discrete components; Class A amplification (no ICs in the signal path)
• Greater transparency with minimum signal path and minimum features
