Get the Power and Quality of a Condenser with the Safety and Familiarity of a Dynamic
The SR117 was designed to work with any singer or instrument. It is voiced with rich, clear lows, smooth vibrant mids and open airy highs ensuring that you will not limit or accentuate your voice in any abnormal ways. Because of the fast and clean frequency response, the SR117 will not add any mud to the low frequencies or harshness to the highs. With the tight pattern control across all frequencies for maximum feedback rejection and the enhanced wind, plosive, and sibilance protection, the SR117 offers the reliability of a dynamic microphone with the sound of a condenser.

For All Your Performances
The same enhanced features that make SR117 the right choice for the biggest live venues also deliver in the smaller ones — including your home studio. Exceptional pattern control that's focused on eliminating feedback for live use also works wonders to control room noise when recording in rooms that haven't been perfectly treated. And the same is true when it comes to the balanced frequency spectrum. Rather than trying to get your old microphones to sound right through corrective EQ measures and placement, the SR117 sounds natural and true right out of the box. Of course you can use EQ and effects for your creative choices — but you don't need to be an audio engineer to get great sound and performance.

Enhanced Wind, Plosive and Sibilance Protection
The overall sonic performance does not come at the expense of usability. The SR117 is built and designed for all situations — and for performers of every level. Whether this is your first microphone or your last, it is incredibly forgiving and safe to use. Use it with confidence on stage, during worship, recording and everywhere in between.
