Earthworks ETHOS Microphone Offers the Voice of Broadcast for Streaming

A year after launching ICON, a studio-quality USB microphone, and ICON PRO, a broadcast-quality XLR streaming microphone targeting the thriving remote working, podcasting, gaming, and home recording application segments, Earthworks Audio now launches ETHOS, a new condenser microphone tuned to broadcast standards. Fully developed in-house, ETHOS was designed for the authenticity, naturalness, and gentle proximity effect of broadcast microphones — but at a $699 price point.

Expanding from its standard catalog of first-approach acoustic panel solutions sold globally, Vicoustic launched the VicBooth acoustic cabin and sound insulation booth concept in 2016.

Now, Vicoustic expanded the range with 2 bigger sizes - 3x3m and 3x4m - and introduced the new VicBooth Ultra Shop online store.

IsoVox introduced IsoMic — a microphone technically tailored for voice recording within its innovative IsoVox 2 vocal booth, featuring four layers of acoustic materials with a patented 360 XYZ design to control sound waves from all angles. The combination, the Swedish company says, is guaranteed to capture perfect voices, thanks to the IsoMic patented triangular capsule, with an extended frequency response that delivers professional results.
