Performance
Whether onstage or in the studio, the
DM20 captures a drum sound that is larger than life. Onstage the DM20
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 toms and snare with incredible detail and pristine
sound, faithfully reproducing their 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. The DM20 transient response 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 DM20 DrumMic™, which can handle up to 150dB SPL.
Construction
Designed to withstand the rigors of the
road while still delivering the sound quality Earthworks is known for,
the DM20 DrumMic™ provides the best of both worlds. Capable of
withstanding a stray stick hit, the DM20 removes the worry of close
miking snare and toms. 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.
Mounting
Included with the DM20 is an RM1
RimMount™ for mounting the microphone directly on the rim of a snare or
toms, eliminating the need for mic stands. Plus, save time on setup and
teardown by storing the DM20 with the RM1 still attached in its carrying
case.
