The QTC50 from Earthworks is a condenser microphone. This microphone is a member of Earthworks Quiet Time-Coherent series and is designed to accurately reproduce quiet audio signals with pristine detail and low noise. The wide dynamic range of strings, choirs, and orchestras are captured and reproduced with uncanny accuracy and detail. The prepolarized omnidirectional capsule exhibits fast response to transient (peak) signals, enabling exceptional SPL handling and minimal distortion.

The omnidirectional capsule is incapable of proximity effect and a wide, flat frequency response of 3 Hz to 50 kHz further maximizes detail. Overall, the QTC50 is a valued addition in high-definition recording and sound reinforcement applications that include choir, orchestra, and acoustic music capturing as well as speech and sound design.

Q: 10. This microphone came bundled with JVC GY-HM170UA 4KCAM Compact Professional Camcorder with Top Handle Audio, so it should be compatible, but I am having volume issues -- as in, there's not very much volume when recording/playback. Is there a phantom-power switch in the camera settings somewhere to give this mic some much-needed boost? All other settings are cranked, and yet recorded audio is weak beyond five feet.

A: Hi John, I don't know of any more setting. I'm also using a wireless mic that records strait to a sound board. However, I'll forward your question to our camera and sound guys, maybe they can help.
