help Earthworks ETHOS FAQ
Does the Earthworks ETHOS require an audio interface with phantom power?
Yes, the Earthworks ETHOS is an active condenser microphone that requires 48V phantom power to operate its internal preamp. You will need a standard XLR cable and a compatible audio interface or mixer to connect it to your recording setup.
How does the ETHOS perform in an untreated room?
Because the ETHOS utilizes a supercardioid shotgun polar pattern, it offers excellent off-axis rejection, making it highly effective for recording clean audio in less-than-ideal acoustic spaces. This directional design helps minimize background noise and room reflections compared to traditional large-diaphragm condensers.
What is the frequency response of the Earthworks ETHOS?
The Earthworks ETHOS features an extended frequency response ranging from 30Hz to 30kHz, capturing a highly detailed and natural sound. This wide range makes it particularly well-suited for capturing the nuances of vocals and acoustic instruments in a broadcast environment.
Can the Earthworks ETHOS be plugged directly into a computer via USB?
No, the Earthworks ETHOS is strictly an XLR microphone and does not have a built-in USB port for direct computer connectivity. You must route it through an external audio interface, such as a Focusrite Scarlett or Rode Caster Pro, to digitize the audio signal.
