Earthworks DM20 Gen 2 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Drum Microphone

Earthworks DM20: The Best Drum Microphone Just Got Better

The DM20 quickly became the go-to microphone for toms and snares in the studio, on stage, and across all major streaming platforms. It set the standard for achieving a rich, full sound and was essential for success. With the release of the second generation, Earthworks has taken everything that made the DM20 great and enhanced it even further. The new model delivers on all industry expectations while improving usability and performance. Earthworks has maintained all the features that users loved while incorporating additional enhancements based on feedback from customers.

Improved Active Electronics

Earthworks has improved the internal electronics to reduce phantom power consumption and added extra protection features to prevent accidental hot swapping. While it is generally advised not to connect a condenser microphone with power on, we understand that this can happen in the field. These enhancements make the DM20 Gen 2 more durable, versatile, and user-friendly.

Upgraded Rim Mount

The DM20 Gen 2 is built for speed in every aspect, including the quick set up and tear down process. The upgraded rim mounting solution not only saves time but also enhances the user experience, making it compatible with a wider range of kits and percussion instruments.

Built for the Road

The DM20 Gen 2 is highly adaptable and designed specifically for live sound amplification. It combines the precision of a condenser microphone with the user-friendly features of a dynamic mic, making it perfect for streaming, video recording, and various studio applications.
