Earthworks Microphones QTC-1 matched pair 1998 - 2004

Up for sale is a pristine, factory-matched pair of legacy Earthworks QTC1 omnidirectional condenser microphones. These are the legendary 40kHz predecessors to the modern QTC40 series, proudly precision-machined, hand-assembled, and individually tuned at the Earthworks facility in Milford, New Hampshire, USA. Highly regarded by recording engineers for their ultra-flat frequency response (3Hz–40kHz) and near-instantaneous impulse response, Earthworks' premium domestic craftsmanship shines through in these stainless steel bodies. If you are looking to capture acoustic guitars, piano, drum overheads, or room ambience with perfect time-coherence and zero phase smearing, this pair is unmatched. What is Included: • (2) Earthworks QTC1 Microphones (Factory Matched Pair - Made in USA), • Serial Numbers: 2562A & 2558A (Verified near-consecutive factory match) • Original Earthworks Premium Wooden Presentation Case Please Note: The original factory plastic clips and printed calibration charts are not included. Standard small-diaphragm condenser clips (or universal shockmounts) fit these stainless steel bodies perfectly. Condition: The microphones are in perfect working order and have been stored securely in a climate-controlled, smoke-free studio environment. Visually, the bodies and capsules are in beautiful shape.
