The Earthworks DM20 DrumMic is a precise cardioid condenser microphone for direct pickup of toms and snare drums in live or studio applications. The DM20 responds particularly transparently and quickly, so that extreme impulses can be reproduced just as easily as subtle nuances and dynamically quiet passages. Even the loudest drummer will not be able to override the DM20 DrumMic with its maximum sound pressure level of 150 dB SPL;
The DM20 comes with an RM1 RimMount, which allows the microphone to be installed directly on the tension tire of a snare or a tom: A separate microphone stand is therefore not required.
