The mic capsule features a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses sound capture tightly on the bass drum or bass amp, helping to greatly reduce bleed from other instruments and keep feedback from onstage monitors under control. The mic features an XLR connector and requires 48V phantom power for the condenser capsule. An M2-R ball-mount mic clip is provided that allows you to quickly and easily mount the DM6 to any standard mic stand or boom and precisely adjust the positioning for optimal results. A windscreen is also included.

The Earthworks DM20 Gen 2 updates the popular snare and tom drum microphone with improved active electronics, a revamped rim mount, and better overall performance. The mic features a cardioid condenser capsule designed specifically for recording or amplifying live drums—specifically your snare or tom-toms. The microphone features a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz in order to capture the full tonal palette of the drum.
Earthworks is well-respected for their transparent sound, and the DM20 Gen 2 is no exception. The capsule picks up frequencies evenly around the cardioid polar pattern within 6", ensuring no frequency coloration due to off-axis capture. Furthermore, the microphone offers improved rear sound rejection, so when you need to make sure your high-hat won't bleed into your snare track, or your snare won't bleed into your tom channel, you can position the mic to cut out the offending sound without changing the tonal characteristic of the intended drum.
The DM20 Gen 2 can handle sound pressure levels of up to 157 dB, which makes it able to stand up to the hardest hitting drummers. Furthermore, the condenser capsule has been fashioned in such a way that the diaphragm's innate vibration has been kept to a minimum; after the transient hits, it settles into its resting state a lot quicker than comparable mics, and thus, does not blur further transients.
The capsule sits on a flexible gooseneck that remains secure no matter how hard the drummer thwacks away. It is fashioned out of stainless steel to better withstand the rigors of the road, and ships with an RM2 Rim Mount for mounting the mic on your snare or tom.
- Built for tom and snare drums
- Designed for live stage performances, but works equally well for televised productions, worship, and studio recordings
- Gooseneck allows for ultra-fine positioning
- Increased rear rejection makes it far more ideal for snare than the DM20 Gen 1
- High SPL prevents clipping from even the loudest drummers
- Tuned to give a concentrated response to the natural range of the drum shells and to allow for more freedom to make musical decisions rather than taming the environment
- Designed for very high gain before feedback
- Tight cardioid polar pattern
- Excellent off-axis rejection
- Included RM2 Rim Mount provides secure placement onto the majority of drums on the market
- Balanced, vibrant, and natural sound right out of the box
- Frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
- Designed, tuned, and assembled in the USA
