Capitalizing on the recent introduction of the live sound reinforcement SR117 handheld vocal microphone, Earthworks Audio is the SR5117 wireless capsule for all Sennheiser wireless transmitter systems. This offering completes the 117 family as the Shure SR3117 wireless capsule variant was previously released in April.
“We have had tremendous success with our new vocal microphone line,” says Mike Dias, VP of Sales for Earthworks Audio. “In the few short months since the initial release, this family has quickly become our best-selling line — outpacing all previous wins that we have seen in drums and streaming. The SR117 is fast becoming a new standard in worship and live performances and with the introduction of the Sennheiser capsule, we expect to break even more sales records.”
Like the Shure capsule variant, the SR5117 is priced at $179 — twenty dollars less than its handheld version. “This is noteworthy as wireless capsules are often more expensive than their handheld counterparts and the price discrepancy is even more rare for microphones and wireless capsules designed, tuned, and assembled in the USA,” the announcement states.
The SR5117 is a supercardiod condenser wireless microphone designed to be compatible with all Sennheiser wireless systems and to have a fast, clean, and responsive frequency response voiced with rich, clear lows, smooth vibrant mids and open highs. It is built for touring but designed to be used everywhere.
It is road ready while being dressed down for stage and TV performances designed for all situations — and for performers of every level.
“The SR5117 has the power and quality of a condenser microphone with the safety and familiarity of a dynamic. Its transcendent clarity is easy to mix right out of the box without any special corrective actions. And its exceptional pattern control across all frequencies offers maximum feedback rejection,” the announcement concludes.
The SR5117 is available now at audio resellers throughout the world. For more information, please visit https://earthworksaudio.com/wireless-microphone-capsules/
