Congratulations on your purchase of the SV33
High Definition Studio Vocal Microphone
The SV33 Studio Microphone is the culmination of two decades of engineering and
innovation at Earthworks Inc., the goal of which was to celebrate the human voice by
revolutionizing the way in which one can capture the full depth of nuance and emotional
expression. The objective of this manual is to provide a basic understanding of the fea-
tures and capabilities of this new microphone as well as some fundamental information
to help you get started. As with all new technologies, the innovation process continues
with you in your discovery of what is now possible.

A Quick Tour
• SV33 Microphone
• The SV33’s grille contains a sonically transparent pop-filter, in most
cases eliminating the need for an external popscreen.
• The SV33 is an end-address electret condenser microphone leveraging
Earthworks proprietary technologies to deliver a cardioid pattern with
consistent flat frequency response across the microphone’s entire front
hemisphere. Rejection at the rear of the microphone is similarly consist-
ent across the entire frequency range, including low frequencies.
• The SV33 has an extremely gentle proximity effect providing consistent
low frequency response that doesn’t become boomy up close or thin at
a
distance.
• Cherry-wood Box -
The SV33 box is hand-crafted from solid cherry-wood, provid-
ing both beauty and functionality. The strength and durability of natural hardwood
coupled with its timeless aesthetic will protect your microphone for years to come.
• Pivot Arm -
Allows mounting the SV33 on a stand or boom and enables rotation
along either the vertical or horizontal axis. The microphone is constructed to pro-
vide mechanical isolation, however the pivot arm does not provide shock absorp-
tion and can be substituted with a shockmount (available as an optional accessory)
if needed.
