Earthworks DK50/R

It all started when Earthworks tried a pair of QTC50s as drum overheads in the studio. Everyone in the room was absolutely astonished with the impeccable detail in the drum sound. It was so remarkable Earthworks created the DK50/R Premium DrumKit System. This new DrumKit System is the best of the best. It features a matched pair of QTC50s for overheads (with response from 3Hz to 50kHz), an SR30 for kick drum and a KickPad. Also included is a stainless steel windscreen so you can use the SR30 as an impressive vocal microphone, three foam windcreens (one for each microphone) and three LevelPads (switchable to -15dB or -30dB of attenuation). The DK50/R Premium DrumKit System comes housed in a genuine Zero/Halliburton carrying case. Once you try the DK50/R, you will never be satisfied with any other microphones on drums.

QTC50
The Quiet Time Coherent QTC50 is an exciting new addition to the Earthworks microphone line. It has all of the exceptional attributes of our popular QTC40 (same as QTC1). The QTC50 has an extended high frequency response to 50kHz and better impulse response. This microphone is for the sterling purist who demands the very highest quality.

SR30
The SR30 (same as SR77) is a remarkable cardioid that maintains most of the characteristics of Earthwork's omni microphones. At 6" away from the source it sounds as omni-like as a cardioid can. The off-axis rejection is substantial yet uncolored. Its impulse response is very fast and smooth and the sound stays the same across the entire front hemisphere of pickup. In the studio or on the stage, the SR30 is an ideal choice for a variety of acoustic instruments including sax, flute, trumpet, guitar piano and drums. It is superior for choir because it doesn't spotlight; rather it picks up an entire section or area with no hot spots. The SR30 is popular among concert tapers because of its open uncolored sound and among jazz enthusiasts for its ability to capture explosive performances while retaining the subtle nuances of artist.

SR30 Specifications

• Frequency Response: 30Hz to 30kHz +/-1.5dB @ 6"

• Power Requirements: 48V Phantom, 10mA
• Peak Acoustic Input: 145dB SPL
• Output: XLR (Pin 2+)
• Minimum Output Load: 600 ohms between pins 2&3
• Noise: 22dB SPL equivalent (A-weighted)
• Product Dimensions (L x D): 8.4" x .860"
• Product Weight: .5 lb each

KickPad
The KickPad is a pad/EQ processor for ALL cardioid mics used on kick drum. Just plug the KickPad into the mic line feeding your favorite cardioid kick drum mic and you will experience an incredible "instant kick drum sound" that is exactly repeatable, every time. This is a real time saver that will work with any cardioid microphone that is used for kick drum. The KickPad is a passive device (requiring no phantom power) that can be used with either condenser or dynamic cardioid microphones. It will provide fantastic results for both recording and live sound applications.
