The Earthworks SR20LS is a cardioid microphone specifically designed for miking kick drums in live performance and studio recording environments. Handles 150dB SPL without distortion, 20Hz to 20kHz flat frequency response, fastest impulse response of any bass drum microphone on the market, machined from solid stainless steel for bulletproof reliability. Supplied with mic clip.
Don’t be fooled by its small size. The SR20LS won’t miss a beat on your bass drum. With handling capabilities of 150dB SPL and a cardioid condenser capsule that captures the full spectrum of sound all the way down to 20Hz, the Earthworks SR20LS beautifully captures all of the deep, rich lows you’re after.
A subtle proximity effect makes it easy to place the mic to capture your bass drum, without getting that boomy sound.
If it can handle a jet engine, it can handle your bass drum. With an SPL rating of 150dB, you never need to worry about overloading the SR20LS.
