Earthworks Ships Wireless Mic Capsule

Earthworks’ long-awaited (introduced in October 2011) WL40V Wireless Vocal Microphone Capsule is now shipping. The WL40V is a wireless microphone capsule “head” designed for live sound applications. The capsule head has a three ring bulls-eye connector and is interchangeable with any of the screw-on-type handheld transmitters that receive a 31.3 mm / pitch 1.0 mm.

Earthworks claims that the WL40V requires “little to no EQ” and also says it has a “textbook perfect” hypercardioid polar pattern and extended flat frequency response translate to a natural on- and off-axis performance. It lists for $899.

Full specs on the WL40V are here.
