Earthworks TC25 Omni Microphone for Loud Sources, 9Hz to 25kHz Frequency Response, 100 Ohms Output Impedance

The Earthworks TC25 Omni Microphone for Loud Sources is an omnidirectional (pressure) pre-polarized condenser microphone directly coupled to a dedicated wideband, low output impedance preamplifier. The TC25 requires a standard 48V phantom power supply. It features a linear free-field frequency response from 9Hzto25kHz, fast impulse response, very low handling noise, uniform polar pattern and very high SPL handling capabilities. It exhibits no proximity effect.

Applications
Earthworks TC25 is easy to operate. Connect the microphone to a microphone pre amplifier supplying 48V phantom power using a standard XLR microphone cable. Allow up to one minute for the microphone to settle. Plugging in the mi crophone "hot" will not damage the microphone and is actually preferred for faster settling. It is normal for any phantom powered mic to "pop" when plugged in or powered up. Make sure to mute the signal to speakers or headphones when phantom power is first applied.

The TC25 is a good choice for close-miking louder sources such as instrument amps, drums or close-miked brass. The TC25 under the strings of a stand-up bass or inside a kick drum will produce amazing sound. It is popular for drum overheads. A pair of TC25s connected to a stereo recorder will provide excellent results for re cording rehearsals and performances. The TC25 is great for general studio use and is an exceptional value. It has no handling noise, no proximity effect and is very for giving in terms of placement.

Care of Microphones
Avoid touching the front protective screen and never attempt to disassemble the microphone. Avoid extreme heat and condensing humidity. Allow the microphone to warm up in the case when bringing it in from the cold weather. Rough handling may damage the microphone even if no visible marks are left. When not in use keep the TC25 in its case.
