Earthworks DK50 series User Manual - page 6
All of the microphone positionings shown in Figures 1-4 should provide excellent
results using the Earthworks DrumKit
TM
three microphone system.
If you prefer the sound of multi-miked drums, then using one of these positionings
in Figures 1-4 for your overhead microphones will provide terrific results. You can
hear the results on tracks 14 and 15 of the enclosed DK25 DrumKit
TM
Demo CD.
The DK50/R Premium DrumKit
TM
System has been designed for recording in a
studio or other acoustic space that is ideal for recording. The DK50/R has two
QTC50 omni microphones for overheads and one SR30 cardioid for kick drum.
For live performance applications, we recommend the DK25/L, which has three
SR25 cardioid microphones. This will work better for live applications and provide
more gain before feedback.
