This mic is amazing in many ways. The build quality is some of the best I've seen in a microphone, but for the price I expect that. Made in the US with high quality parts and R&D. The mic has incredible off axis rejection, has amazing mids and clarity along with incredible smoothness. it can take high end Eq for days and sounds solid right off the bat. It sounds dry but not sterile, as if you were in an expensive vocal booth. It has the sound of a smooth tube microphone, with a modern feel to it. The microphone has more flexibility because it can easily be mounted on a Rode Arm (hooked on your recording table) and used whenever you need to track your vocals or Electric/Acoustic guitars. It was built for serious vocal recording, for minimizing any room noise/reflections. It has a tight cardioid pattern. It makes it very easy to sing then edit, especially if you're by yourself when recording, which I am 90% of the time. You can also hold the microphone if you want, it handles any rumble very well. The sound is also very consistent if you move a bit while recording. I have used many expensive LDC mics, and most of them require well tuned rooms to maximize their usage. This is where the Earthworks sv33 shines. It provides high quality sound in a dynamic mic type shape. I wish they had made that mic when I first started, it would have saved me a lot of headaches when recording vocals. The way it handles transients and smoothes them out is uncanny, it smooths out sibilance in a natural way and handles Cs and Ts very well. I've used for background vocals with my Sony c800g, and I was able to match and blend the vocal takes very well. I'm planning on recording a bunch of songs with it. At this price point, compared to the Manley Ref C, u87ai (which I don't like, sold 2), SE RNT, I would choose the Earthworks for the lack of room reflection alone. I haven't tested it with my Shure sm7 or beyerdynamic m160 or Neumann kms105, but it shares similarities because of the tightness of the sound, although the Earthworks is way clearer and more condenser like as it should be (not pointy in the mids like the kms105), and doesn't require massive amounts of gain either. Run it through a Neve style preamp and smile.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
