Earthworks DK7 Drum FullKit 7-Piece Drum Microphone Kit

The Earthworks DK7 DrumKit System is a seven microphone kit comprised of four DM20 precision engineered cardioid condenser microphones designed for close miking toms and snare, plus two SR25 cardioids for miking overheads, and one specially engineered SR20LS (low sensitivity) for kick drum that can be deployed in both live performance and studio recording environments.

Performance

Whether onstage or in the studio, the DK7 captures a drum sound that is larger than life. Onstage the DK7 delivers sound so detailed and natural that the sound coming out of the PA sounds like the drummer is right in front of you. For recording, it will reproduce your drum kit with incredible detail and pristine sound, faithfully reproducing its true character.

Its near-perfect cardioid polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement, virtually eliminating phasing issues and ensuring more gain before feedback. With a lightning fast transient response, the kit handles sharp attacks with ease, while still picking up all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of your playing. Even the loudest drummer cannot overload the DK7 DrumMic, which can handle high sound pressure levels.

Construction

Designed to withstand the rigors of the road while still delivering the quality Earthworks is known for, the DK7 Drum FullKit provides the best of both worlds. Capable of withstanding a stray stick hit, the DM20 DrumMic removes the worry of close miking toms and snare. Its right angle microphone head lets you easily and precisely position the microphone to get the best drum sound. Featuring a stiff yet flexible gooseneck, the microphone will stay put once you have found its sweet spot.

Features:

• Ultra fast impulse response ideal for reproducing the full detail of the attack
• Substantially shorter diaphragm settling time prevents subtle details from being blurred or covered by earlier loud attacks
• Near-perfect cardioid polar pattern reproduces all specified frequencies uniformly at any position within the pattern
• With 32dB of rear rejection, it is ideal for live performances or recording environments where there may be bleed from surrounding instruments
• More gain before feedback
• High SPL rating ensures the mic will not overload from the loudest of drum attacks
• Heavy stainless steel construction is able to withstand the punishment of all touring environments
• RM1 RimMount is included for mounting the DM20 on rim of snare or toms
