Earthworks TC20 Omni Microphone for Loud Sources (Matched Pair)

About: Earthworks TC20 Omni Microphone for Loud Sources (Matched Pair)

The TC Series (Time Coherent) is designed for recording louder sources such as drums, percussion, amplified instruments and loud sound effects. Microphones in this series allow recording of louder acoustic sources without overloading the preamplifier. Models in the TC Series are often the choice for recording drum overheads, close miked or amplified instruments and sound effects.

The TC20 is an omnidirectional microphone designed for recording louder sources such as drums, percussion, amplified instruments and loud sound effects.

• Our least expensive general-purpose omni with high frequency response to 20kHz
• Ideal for a wide variety of instruments and vocals, including acoustic guitar, string instruments and piano
• For live sound the TC20 can be used for close miking instrument amps, drums or brass
• Omnidirectional polar pattern
• Accurate and uncolored
• Effortlessly handle high sound pressure levels up to 150dB SPL while simultaneously capturing subtle details
• Fast impulse response and diaphragm settling time
• Exceptional flat frequency response and are time coherent, so they sound natural and uncolored
• Requires 48V Phantom Power

Headroom Perfected

With a whopping SPL rating of 150dB the TC20 has plenty of headroom. And with no proximity effect, you can get it as close as you want to the sound source.

Remarkable Response

With a 9Hz – 20kHz ruler-flat frequency response, and an ultra-fast transient response, the result is a more accurate representation of the original sound.

Control With No Compromise

Its near-perfect omnidirectional polar pattern is uniform across all specified frequencies, letting the microphone capture rich and consistent detail at any position around the capsule.
