1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The SR117 is a supercardioid condenser vocal microphone for live performance and studio recording. Its supercardioid pattern is designed to reject off-axis sound and help guard against sudden feedback in live use. With a 20Hz–20kHz response, 140 dB SPL maximum handling, and low operating and handling noise, it is built to capture vocal detail while resisting clipping at high levels. It connects by XLR and operates from 48V phantom power; a case and clip are included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live vocal setups where off-axis rejection and feedback protection are needed.
- Studio vocal recording that calls for detail across a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without 48V phantom power for the microphone's XLR connection.
