[Download] Video Copilot's element 3d is a great plugin. It allows me to bring my objects that I have modeled in Lightwave, into After effects. This has helped speed up production, because I don't have to render out the scene first. I can take my model straight into After Effects and then render my scene. All in After Effects.

[1 User] At the new price point, this is one of the best broadcast/vo mics in my arsenal, hands down. Crisp, focused, and more portable than an SM7B (or another new favorite of mine, the BP40), the Ethos is a fantastic mic. Avoid the Icon, hoard the Ethos.

[1 User] This one is an interesting and good-sounding microphone. It feels like a broadcast microphone with decent noise rejection, but it sounds like a condenser with a little bit of mid-forwarding sound.

[Download] Element 3D greatly enhanced my workflow. To anyone considering getting this product, I would definitely recommend it.

[1 User] This microphone sounds better than the sm7b in my opinion. It is more of a natural sound compared to the sm7b. I highly recommend it!

[Download] .. and here for a good price ! Thanks a lot !

[Download] TL;DR - This mic is incredible. The sound is super crisp and clear, and even though it's not a dynamic mic, it does a great job of eliminating background noise. Bottom line - buy it if you need a great sounding mic!

Long story - I create YouTube videos about cars and riding our Yamaha WaveRunner personal watercraft. I try to record my voice live to save time while editing, but sometimes I just have to do voices overs at home.

I used to use a video-style mic going into my iPhone, and it sounded okay, but I wanted the sound to be great. After reading and watching lots of YouTube reviews, I knew the Earthworks Ethos was the one.

I purchased a PreSonus Studio 24c and the Ethos and love that I don't need a signal booster to get quality sound...and believe me, the sound is quality - once I figured out how to speak properly.

I have never used a mic that was so sensitive (in a good way), but it picked up the slightest noise I made while talking. Once I figured out how to not make clicks and other noises with my mouth, I absolutely fell in love with this mic. I didn't even realize I was doing until I listed to my first recordings.

I have a very minor EQ setting in the higher frequency that I use, but other than that, I just record my voice into the built in Voice Memo app in the Mac and import it into DaVinci Resolve Studio.

I used to record into Logic Pro, and that audio came out better, but the process is more time consuming. I often make a lot of short voice overs, so the Voice Memo app works good enough. If I needed to record something with the highest quality, I'd do it in Logic Pro.

Overall, I love this mic and really can't say enough about it.

[Download] I've used the SM7B and the Electrovoice RE20 for voice and broadcast work. Those microphones have a strong characteristic rendition of voices -- coloration, if you will -- and, as dynamic microphones, good ambient noise rejection.


The Ethos goes above and beyond the capabilities of both of those classic microphones for my use. Though it is a condenser mic, noise rejection is good enough that I can record interviews directly into a Zoom H6 in a reasonably quiet room -- similar to what I can do with a classic dynamic mic, but without the need for additional power. (If you have significant ambient noise, like a loud air conditioner, neither type of microphone will save your audio capture.)


Sound quality is where this microphone really sets itself apart. It's like having a good studio condenser mic -- the type used to record delicate, complicated tones like acoustic guitar -- in a general-use context. Overtones are present, and there is no aggressive roll-off in any part of the tonal spectrum (unlike the SM7B, which rolls off high wavelengths to the point of distortion in my opinion). The result is a natural tone that is not highly colored. This helps me not only produce natural-sounding voice content; it also gives me excellent flexibility, because this mic could also be used for instrument recording and other general-purpose capture.


Overall, I'm still a fan of the RE20 if a classic broadcast tone is what I want. However, I would be happy to use the Ethos for all my voice and general-purpose audio work. The fact that it does not need much power makes it practical for recording field interviews, which means this mic gets used a lot more than the RE20. Bonus points for the excellent ball-head mount included with the mic. As far as I'm concerned, the Ethos is the best voice and general-purpose microphone in its price range.

[1 User] I swapped out the Shure SM7B for this because it took too much to drive it (I used a Cloudlifter) and the results were inconsistent and just okay, at best. I had read about this mic being similar in build, but a supercardioid condenser mic instead of dynamic. The sound was warm and clear like a dynamic, and no additional switches to fool around with. Just plug in your XLR cable and get to work. I re-recorded all of the podcast episodes (they're short-form) I originally used the SM7B for (none of which sounded the same), and finally got the pro-grade sound and consistency I wanted! I'm absolutely in love with it - you get what you pay for!

[Download] I've had Video Copilot's plug-in at several post houses I worked at, but never at home. It makes my life so much easier when I need to quick, 3d title animations. It's fast and it looks so good!
