Earthworks Audio ICON
ICON is a Studio-Quality USB Condenser Microphone designed for home recording, remote working, podcasting and gaming. This elegant streaming microphones simply “Sounds Like Life” and looks as good as it sounds.
The ICON USB has a gain control with mute function and a headphone output as all in one solution for audio streaming on PC and Laptops. With a cardioid polar pattern and an ultra fast capsule rise time speed of 14 microseconds the microphone provides a high quality sound for better intelligibility and communication on streaming applications.
As part of the look, Earthworks partnered with Triad-Orbit to design and build a custom desktop microphone stand that ships as part of the full ICON experience. The stand is sleek yet robust enough to hold and balance the stainless-steel microphone. For maximum flexibility, the integrated M-2R swivel ball joint can be disconnected and re-mounted on any studio mic stand or boom arm.
