 "DK25/R"

High-definition Recording Drum Mics

"TC25"
Capture Loud Sources Accurately

Earthworks’ accuracy, clarity, and ability to capture detail have earned their microphones a place in the mic lockers of world-class studios and live sound engineers. The TC25 is a general-purpose condenser mic with an omnidirectional polar pattern. Ideal for a wide variety of instruments and vocals — including acoustic guitar, string instruments, and piano — the TC25 is equally at home onstage or in the studio, on a wide range of duties ranging from drum overheads to close-miked instrument amps, drums, and brass instruments. Every studio and live sound rig should have at least one pair of these excellent, incredibly versatile mics.

No instrument is off limits

With its whopping SPL rating of 150dB, the TC25 offers gobs of headroom, so there’s no need to worry about distortion, even with the loudest instruments. And its omni pickup pattern means no proximity effect, so you can get the TC25 right up on the sound source if you wish. With its ruler-flat, smoothly extended 9Hz–25kHz frequency response, the TC25 delivers an accurate representation of the original source.

Designed to capture louder sources such as drums and amplified instruments, the TC25’s ultra-fast transient response makes it adept at handling sharp attacks with aplomb, while still picking up all the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of a performance. Earthworks designed the TC25 to be time coherent, to precisely capture low- and high-frequency sounds without the phase errors that can smear transients and cause other time-related distortions. Its near-perfect omnidirectional polar pattern is uniform across all specified frequencies, letting the TC25 consistently capture rich detail from every position around the capsule.

"SR25"

Powerful Sound. Stunning Detail. Endlessly Versatile. 

A mic as versatile as you.
The Earthworks SR25 is a stainless steel workhorse. From subtle strums on an acoustic guitar to powerful crashes of cymbals, the SR25 never compromises your sound. A tightly controlled cardioid capsule keeps you in control of your sound, eliminating phasing issues and bleed that muddy your sound. With sparkling clarity and crystal clear articulation, your recordings and live performances reach new heights of audio bliss.

The Earthworks SR25 is a cardioid instrument microphone designed for miking drums and electric guitars in live performance and studio recording environments.

When looking for that larger than life sound from drums and electric guitar, the SR25 delivers. Sonic timbre and frequency response stay uniform across the entire front of the microphone capsule, helping you capture that perfect tone.

With a lighting fast transient response, the SR25 handles sharp attacks with ease, while still capture all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of your playing. With an SPL rating of 145dB, there is no need to worry about distortion or overload, perfect for loud guitar amps and drums.

The SR25 provides a transparent sonic character with a 20Hz – 25kHz frequency response, faithfully capturing every detail along the way.

Its near-perfect cardioid polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement and ensuring more gain before feedback. With over 30dB of off-axis rejection, the SR25 is ideally suited for capturing audio in highly ambient environments and near monitor speakers.

Designed for drums and guitar amps, the SR25 is also an excellent choice for a variety of other instruments such as brass, woodwinds, acoustic guitar and more.

The KickPad

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 SR25kick drum mic for magnificent results. With the KickPad removed, you can use the same SR25 for most anything.
