The core of your drum sound
Overheads and kick are a wide-angle lens capturing the full picture of your drum kit. The vividness, realism and lifelikeness in that picture depend on two factors: the quality of the sounds captured by the individual microphones, and how seamlessly the sounds from those microphones blend together. The three-microphone DK3 kit redefines what's possible in drum miking.
Picture Perfect
A perfect sonic image of your whole kit from above. A pair of Earthworks SR25 cardioids bring transparency, clarity, and attack to your drum sound.
Punch Through the Mix
Don't be fooled by its size. The SR20LS is a revolution in bass drum miking. A small diaphragm condenser that goes all the way down to 20Hz and handles 150dB SPL, the SR20LS missing nothing and single handedly does a job that often requires two mics or more.
Your Sound
Your drums are you voice, and details matter. Laser-focused on delivering your sound, each microphone in the DK3 is engineered with razor-flat, extended frequency response and time coherence. Every detail, every nuance, and every texture flawlessly intact, making your drum sound come to life.
Speed Where You Need It
Most live performance microphones sacrifice sound quality with big heavy dynamic capsules that move too slowly to capture the subtle details in the attack and texture of drums and cymbals. Not the mics in the DK3. Small diaphragm condenser capsule coupled with a proprietary Class A amplifier circuit delivers sound that deeply connects the audience to the stage.
Build a Legacy
Precision machined from stainless steel, each microphone in the DK3 is a stunning instrument designed for your whole career, on the road and in the studio.
- SR25 Microphone -
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.
