Manufacturer's Description from Earthworks

Precision Pattern Control

 
Unwanted leakage comes from all directions — DM20’s uniform cardioid pattern is engineered to provide more than 25 dB of rejection at 140 degrees and an average of over 16 dB across the back 180.A third-octave polar chart reveals just how consistent the performance is across all frequencies — brilliant, detailed pickup across the front and dramatic, even attenuation across the back.

Next-Generation Electronics

 
2nd-Gen Earthworks microphones draw only 6 mA of phantom power current, while increasing performance with all types of devices, including transformer-based preamps and splits.Hot-plugging (connecting microphones with phantom power already on) can result in spikes with enough power to damage microphones, preamps and other equipment.While we always recommend enabling phantom power after connecting microphones, we realize that it can be difficult or even impossible to consistently avoid hot-plugging in modern recording, streaming and live performance workflows, where timelines are tight and phantom power is often enabled when the session file is loaded, well before the microphones are plugged in.2nd-Gen Earthworks microphones have been hardened with power handling to exceed anything normally experienced with even the largest touring consoles and stageboxes.

RM2 Drum Rim Mount

 
RM2 is a low-profile, tour-quality solution for securely mounting DM20 Gen 2 to the rim of snare drums and toms, eliminating the need for mic stands.RM2 is engineered specifically for DM20 Gen 2, to provide an optimal starting point for fine position adjustment using the microphone’s gooseneck and height in the mic clip.Industry-leading compatibility with a wide variety of metal drum hoop types and suspension mounts.

The Speed of Sound

 
The impulse response is fast and clean. The frequency response is flat and extended. DM20 Gen 2 doesn’t sound like a microphone — it sounds like your drum, only bigger.

About Manufacturer

Earthworks was formed by David Blackmer, the inventor of dbx, to realize his vision of upgrading the entire audio chain to a new standard of sonic realism. David's goal of creating high definition tools with which to capture the sound and experience of "being there" is based upon a strong evidence that there is more to human hearing than the range of frequencies which can be heard as tones. We are convinced that audio equipment with extended frequency response and faster, cleaner time domain performance will yield more life-like results. Traditional audio methadology appears to be based on working around the limitations, imperfections, and personality quirks of the equipment, and calling the ones you like "assets". WE believe that any part of the audio chain can be improved to the point where the standard is so high that any product meeting it will be indistinguishable from any other product meeting the same standard, and that an audio system built to such standard can achieve sonic reality. This standard, for electronic equipment, is met by our Zero Distortion Technology. We support the concept of recording acoustic events accurately enough to capture the sound as it happened in the room. This approah allows you to make sonic coloration and texture choices later, when you can consider them carefully and still have recourse. Life-like accuracy is the best starting point for whatever unique coloration you may wish to add.
