The SR25s are known for their exceptional sound quality and are a key element in achieving a full sound. The second generation of SR25s improves on usability and performance while maintaining all the features that users love.

Improved Active Electronics
Earthworks has improved the internal electronics of the SR25 Gen 2 to reduce phantom power consumption and added extra protection features to prevent damage from accidental hot swapping.
