Earthworks DK25/R - 3 Microphone DrumKit System for Studio Recording

Earthworks DK25/R DrumKit System

The Earthworks DK25/R is a 3 microphone kit for recording comprised of 2-TC25 omnis for miking overheads and 1-SR25 cardioid for miking kick drum with the inline EQ KickPad. With an extended ruler-flat frequency response, the result is a more accurate representation of the original sound. Each microphone’s transient response is ultra fast, handling sharp attacks with ease, while still picking up all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of your playing.

Its polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement, virtually eliminating phasing issues and ensuring more gain before feedback. The microphones in the DK25/R have a transient response that is lightning fast, handling 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 DK25/R DrumKit™, which can handle high sound pressure levels.Improved impulse response for faster and more.

A good kick drum microphone needs to be designed and optimized for that specific purpose. This means the microphone is great for kick drum and nothing else. Therefore we designed the kick drum optimization in an external XLR package – the KickPad. Just plug the KickPad™ into the mic line going to the SR25 microphone for incredible results. With the KickPad removed, you can use the same SR25 for most anything.

Included in kit:

• 2 x TC25 omni microphones
• 1 x SR25 cardioid microphone
• 1 x KP1 KickPad™
• 3 x SRW3 foam windscreens
• 1 x DK25-C Aluminum case

Features

• accurate transients
• Shorter diaphragm settling time to prevent quieter attacks from being blurred by earlier loud attacks
• Extended frequency response to 25kHz to capture a crisper and more realistic image
• Near perfect polar patterns that remain even across all frequencies and at any position within the pattern
• More cohesive and unified drum sound
• Hear more attack and subtle detail
• Increased detail and dynamic range
• Versatile, multi-use mics
• Mics are protected in a high impact case
• Ideal three-mic choice for live performance or recording in less than ideal acoustic environments
• Fast setup and teardown
• Comes with 3 SR25s (two for overheads and one for kick drum), 1 KickPad™, 1 windscreen
• The patented cardioid pattern on the SR25 provides a more uniform off-axis response and has less susceptibility to acoustic feedback
