Models
The DK25/L is the ideal three-mic choice for live performance or recording in less than ideal acoustic environments. The SR25 cardioid microphones cut off at 50Hz which is ideal for overheads and also for spot miking the snare and/or toms.
The DK25/R omni microphones are exceptional for studio recording in a room with good acoustics. If your room acoustics are less than ideal, cardioid overheads will pick up less room sound.
The 50Hz response of the QTC50s will provide a spectacular drum sound. The QTC50s incredible frequency response (3Hz to 50kHz) with exceptional impulse response and short diaphragm settling time delivers unbelievable results on drums and percussion.
The Drum FullKit™ is the ultimate, and every drummer’s dream. The nine FullKit™ microphones allow you to mike every piece of your entire drum set (2-OH, 1-hi-hat, 1-snare, 4-toms & 1-kick drum) with Earthworks® High Definition Microphones™.
We took our original DFK1 and replaced the 2 SR30s with 2 SR40s to give your drums even more depth and realism. The nine FullKit™ microphones allow you to mike every piece of your entire drum set with Earthworks® High Definition Microphones™.
