Earthworks DK25R Recording DrumKit Microphone System
The typical practice of miking drums normally involves the use of five to seven mics (or more). While developing a new 25kHz Series of microphones for percussion, Earthworks tried using only two mics for overheads and one for kick drum. The result absolutely blew them away. Earthworks then made a comparative recording of the same drum set using seven other mics that are some of the industry favorites for miking drums. The difference in detail and sound quality of the three Earthworks mics vs. the seven industry favorites was staggering. The Earthworks microphones captured every nuance of sound from each piece of the drum set with such an exceptional clarity and cohesiveness that it sounded like a "live" set of drums, not a bunch of pieces. This discovery led to the development of the innovative Earthworks Drumkit System, providing a dramatic improvement in the sound quality of miking drums. This is truly astonishing -- you must hear it for yourself. The DK25/R is for "Recording" and has two TC25 omnis for overheads, an SR25 cardioid for kick drum, a KickPad and a windscreen. This model is ideal for use in an enclosed acoustic environment or a drum room/booth. For live performance or "multi-miked" drums using four or more mics in a studio application, the DK25/L is recommended. TC25 For louder sources such as drums, percussion, amplified instruments and loud sound effects. The TC25 was engineered to be used in Earthworks' DrumKit System, but can also provide stunning results on a wide variety of instruments and vocals. The TC25 has the same attributes as the TC30 except its high frequency response goes to 25kHz. It will handle up to 145 dB SPL, is smaller in size, weighs less, and costs less than the TC30. The performance vs. price ratio of this microphone is excellent. SR25 For quiet and loud sources. The SR25 was engineered to be used in Earthworks' DrumKit System, but can also provide stunning results on a wide variety of instruments and vocals. The SR25 has the same attributes as the SR30 except its high frequency response extends to 25kHz. It will handle up to 145 dB SPL, is smaller in size, weighs less and costs less than the SR30. The performance vs. price ratio of this microphone is excellent. KickPad Get a perfect kick drum sound every time with the new and innovative KickPad! The KickPad is a pad/EQ processor for all cardioid mics used on kick drum such as AKG D112, EV RE20, Shure SM57, Earthworks SR25, and others. Just plug the KickPad into the mic line feeding your favorite cardioid kick drum mic and you will experience an incredible "instant kick drum sound" that is exactly repeatable, every time. This is a real time saver that will work with any cardioid microphone that is used for kick drum. The KickPad is a passive device (requiring no phantom power) that can be used with either condenser or dynamic cardioid microphones. It will provide fantastic results for both recording and live sound applications.
