Earthworks Celebrates 15th Anniversary with 15-Year Warranty

Earthworks, Inc., the world's only manufacturer of high definition microphones for recording, live sound, and test/measurement applications, reports that November 2010 marked the company's 15th anniversary. To celebrate, it is introducing of a 15-year warranty for all new purchases.

Earthworks was founded by David Blackmer, the inventor and founder of dbx, who invented new technologies in VCAs and true RMS detectors for companders and compressors. Blackmer was dedicated to understanding the way humans hear and perceive sound.

From Earthworks' first high definition microphone -- the OM1, to the M30 omnidirectional measurement microphone, the QTC40 Quiet Time Coherent microphone for recording quiet sources, and the PM40 PianoMic system for capturing the acoustic piano's complex sounds, Blackmer's focus on capturing the energy and presence of live performance serves as the foundation for all Earthworks microphones.

Enforceable by the original retail purchaser as of January 1, the warranty ensures its product to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 15 years from the date of original retail purchase. Customers get the warranty by registering the product online at www.earthworksaudio.com within 30 days of purchase. Full details of the limited warranty are available on the Earthworks website.

Bill Norton, Earthworks' COO, says, "Capturing the sound as true to the source as the laws of physics permit has always been a hallmark of this company's commitment to sonic excellence. With the introduction of our 15-year warranty, Earthworks steps up to the plate once again to provide its customers with exceptional audio performance and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their investment is backed by the best support in the industry. This company's culture has always been about developing the 'right tool for the job' and doing our part to foster the best possible sound quality. With the inclusion of the 15-year warranty, I genuinely believe Earthworks customers will experience even greater value and return on investment."
