Earthworks SR314 Microphone from the Perspective of Live Streaming, Podcasting, and Voice Over

In today’s episode, we have a look at and a listen to the Earthworks SR314 condenser microphone. This microphone was designed as a live vocals microphone, but works very well for live-streaming, podcasting, and voice over work. It is a premium microphone with a premium price tag, but provides value in terms of its true-to-life voicing, stellar off-axis uniformity, and incredible build quality. And it looks nice, too.
