Earthworks DK7

DK7 - 7-Microphone Kit for Miking Full Drum Set

The Earthworks DK7 Drum Kit System is 7 microphone kit comprised of 4 DM20 precision engineered cardioid condenser microphones designed for close miking toms and snare, plus 2 SR25 cardioids for miking overheads, and 1 specially engineered SR20LS (low sensitivity) for kick drum that can be deployed in both live performance and studio recording environments.

Performance

Whether onstage or in the studio, the DK7 captures a drum sound that is larger than life. Onstage the DK7 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 a drum kit with incredible detail and pristine sound, faithfully reproducing its 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 DK7 transient response is lightning fast, handling sharp attacks with ease, while still picking up all of the subtle nuances and softest dynamics. Even the loudest drummer cannot overload the DK7 DrumMic™, which can handle high sound pressure levels.

Construction

Designed to withstand the rigors of the road while still delivering the sound quality Earthworks is known for, the DK7 Drum FullKit™ provides the best of both worlds. Capable of withstanding a stray stick hit, the DM20 DrumMic™ removes the worry of close miking toms and snare. Its right angle microphone head makes the positioning of the microphone easily and precise to get the best drum sound. Featuring a stiff yet flexible gooseneck, the microphone will stay in the found sweet spot.

Mounting

Included with the DK7 is an RM1 RimMount™ for mounting the DM20 tom and snare microphones directly on the rim of a snare or toms, reducing the number of mic stands required. Plus, save time on setup and teardown by storing the DK7 with the mic clips still attached in its carrying case.
