Overview:
The Earthworks P30-S Periscope Gen 2 is a professional supercardioid condenser gooseneck microphone designed to accurately capture vocal and musical performances—from solo instruments to ensembles to choirs, and in concert halls, houses of worship, and studios. Periscope Gen 2 builds upon the quality of the original models, offering stellar polar-pattern control, an even more balanced frequency response, lower phantom-power consumption, and improved design quality. Earthworks microphones are renown for their natural and uncolored sound, extended frequency response, and pristine audio fidelity.
Flexible for All Your Needs
- The P30-S Periscope Gen 2 features a small microphone head attached to a flexible mini gooseneck, as well as a minimal profile that won’t detract attention from your choir.
- Instead of having to reposition the whole microphone or mic stand, simply flex the gooseneck to quickly reposition the mic capsule.
Consistent Supercardioid Polar Pattern
- Earthworks Gen 2 technology ensures that the supercardioid polar pattern is consistent across the entire frequency range, delivering natural, lifelike sound in the entire front hemisphere, with highly effective rejection of unwanted sounds across the rear.
Flat Frequency Response, Low Noise
- With a 20 Hz to 25 kHz flat frequency response and exceptional low noise (20 dB SPL A-weighted), the P30-S Periscope Gen 2 delivers studio-quality clarity and detail, for true broadcast-ready sound—whether the source is close-up or distant.
Included Foam Windscreen
- The P30-S Periscope comes with a high-quality foam windscreen specifically chosen for its acoustic transparency and minimal effect on the microphone’s polar response.
- You can be confident that using it to prevent indoor wind noise generated by HVAC and ceiling fans will not degrade the performance of your microphone. The windscreen also provides some protection against dust.
Other Features
- Gen 2 circuitry reduces phantom-power consumption and maximizes compatibility across all preamp and input types.
- Designed, tuned, and assembled in the USA.
