The Earthworks DM20 Microphone is a precision engineered cardioid condenser microphone designed for close miking tom and snare in live performance and studio recording environments.

The Earthworks DM20 Microphone provides more detail in the attack in addition to subtle details that you have never heard before using conventional microphones. Whether onstage or in the studio, the Earthworks DM20 captures a drum sound that is larger than life. Onstage the Earthworks DM20 delivers sound so detailed and natural that the sound coming out of the PA sounds like the drummer is right in front of you. For recording, it will reproduce your toms and snare with incredible detail and pristine sound, faithfully reproducing their true character.

Its near-perfect cardioid polar pattern is consistent across all frequencies, simplifying mic placement, virtually eliminating phasing issues and ensuring more gain before feedback. The Earthworks DM20 transient response is lightning fast, handling sharp attacks with ease, while still picking up all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics of your playing. Even the loudest drummer cannot overload the Earthworks DM20 DrumMic™, which can handle up to 150dB SPL.

Construction
Designed to withstand the rigors of the road while still delivering the sound quality Earthworks is known for, the Earthworks DM20 DrumMic™ provides the best of both worlds. Capable of withstanding a stray stick hit, the Earthworks DM20 removes the worry of close miking snare and toms. Its right angle microphone head lets you easily and precisely position the microphone to get the best drum sound. Featuring a stiff yet flexible gooseneck, the microphone will stay put once you have found its sweet spot.

Mounting
Included with the Earthworks DM20 is an RM1 RimMount™ for mounting the microphone directly on the rim of a snare or toms, eliminating the need for mic stands. Plus, save time on setup and teardown by storing the Earthworks DM20 with the RM1 still attached in its carrying case.
