Earthworks DM20 Gen 2 Tom & Snare Drum Microphone

About: Earthworks DM20 Gen 2 Tom & Snare Drum Microphone

In the studio, on stage, and showcased on every top streaming channel, the DM20 became the must-have tom and snare drum microphone. It was the benchmark of success and the fastest way to get the fullest sound. And now, the DM20 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.

• 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 20Hz to 20kHz
• Designed, tuned, and assembled in the USA

New Rim Mounting System

Everything about the DM20 Gen 2 is designed for speed — and that includes the speed of set up and tear down. The new and improved rim mounting solution saves massive amounts of time while delivering a much better user experience. And it’s compatible with even more kits and percussive instruments. 

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 DM20 Gen 2 more robust, more compatible, and more user-friendly.

Built for touring. Used everywhere.

The DM20 Gen 2 is incredibly versatile and is built for live sound reinforcement. It captures all the details of a condenser microphone, but performs with the usability of a dynamic mic. This makes it ideal for streaming and video recordings and also for all studio work environments.
