Earthworks Audio is entering the USB space with the release of ICON, a studio-quality USB microphone, and ICON PRO, a broadcast-quality XLR streaming microphone. Both products enhance the quality and experience of remote working, podcasting, gaming and home recording, stated the company.
As part of the look, Earthworks partnered with Triad-Orbit to design and build a custom desktop microphone stand that ships as part of the full ICON experience. The stand is sleek yet robust enough to hold and balance the stainless-steel microphone. For maximum flexibility, the integrated M2-R swivel ball joint can be disconnected and re-mounted on any studio mic stand or boom arm.
ICON PRO looks and feels similar to the ICON USB microphone, but it is hand-tuned with an extended frequency response, and the capsule has a faster Rise Time Speed of just 11.67 microseconds. That extra speed is designed to make vocals even richer, fuller and more detailed. Because it is an XLR broadcast microphone requiring 48 volts of phantom power, it offers extended headroom and dynamics. ICON PRO ships with an integrated Triad-Orbit M2-R adaptor as well.
