Earthworks DK7 7 Piece Drum Kit Cardioid Condenser Microphone System

Earthworks DK7 7 Piece Drum Kit Cardioid Condenser Microphone System

DK7 Drum Kit System provides seven microphones tailored for drums. Included are four DM20 cardioid condenser microphones for toms and snarse, as well as two SR25 cardioid condensers for your overheads, and an SR20LS which has been specifically manufactured to handle the particularities of kick drums.

Earthworks is a company renowned for its sonic transparency, and this kit is no exception: the nature of these cardioid capsules is to provide a uniform frequency response across the field of pickup; no sound coloration will result from off-axis miking. However, where the sound is rejected, it is rejected at levels of over 30 dB, making the mics suitable for minimizing bleed from other sound sources, and rendering tracks more useful in mixing or live sound contexts.

Included with this kit are rim mounts for the DM20s microphones, clips for the other microphones, windscreens, and a rugged case to house the mics when they're not in use.

Seven Alone. One Together.
On their own, each microphone in the Earthworks DK7 kit is best in its class. When combined, they capture the full complexity of your drumkit.

Your Drums. Your Sound.
The DK7 makes whatever drum kit you’re miking sound like just that―you. A crystal clear translation of your sound.

Lightning Fast
Nothing compares to the lightning speed of the DM20. Every detail, every nuance, and every texture remains flawlessly intact.

Bring It All Together
A perfect sonic image of your whole kit from above. A matched pair of Earthworks SR25s bring transparency, clarity, and attack to your drum sound.

Punch Through the Mix
With handling capabilities of 150dB SPL, and a cardioid condenser capsule that captures the full spectrum of sound all the way down to 20Hz, the Earthworks SR20LS captures every detail you’re after.

Isolation Like Never Before
Massive rear rejection and a polar pattern that’s consistent across the entire frequency range means any off-axis leakage is virtually nonexistent.

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 over 30dB 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.
