Earthworks Everywhere.

There’s a reason that the DK7 has taken live sound reinforcement by storm. Even seasoned engineers who have been on the road for over 30 years stop what they’re doing the minute that they hear a DK7 through the PA system. The presence and power are arresting. No one gets drum sounds like that — and so tour after tour, that Earthworks sound has been spreading like wildfire.

On Stage, in the Studio, and Streaming.

On stage, in the studio, and showcased on every top streaming channel, the DK7 has become the must-have drum microphone kit. It was the definition of success and the fastest way to get the fullest sound. And now, the second generation builds on everything that the industry expects while improving on all aspects of usability and performance. We kept everything that you loved while giving you more of everything else that you asked for.

New Active Electronics

We've hardened the internal electronics to draw less phantom power, and we've built in additional protection features to safeguard against accidental hot swapping. We all know that you shouldn't plug in a condenser microphone with the power engaged but we also know that's an inevitably in the field sometimes. These new stacked changes make the DK7 Gen 2 more robust, more compatible, and more user-friendly.

New Rim Mounting System

Everything about the DK7 Gen 2 is designed for speed — and that includes the speed of set up and tear down. The new and improved rim mounting solution for the tom and snare drums saves massive amounts of time while delivering a much better user experience. And it's compatible with even more kits and percussive instruments.

Smaller, Stronger Case

The new SKB road case is more rugged, more durable, and easier to pack, load and ship.
