Earthworks DM6 SeisMic Microphone

Yes, the DM6 is a condenser microphone and requires 48V phantom power to function. Ensure your interface or mixer is providing the necessary 6.5mA to power the unit.

While specifically voiced for the low-end punch and transient detail of a kick drum, its wide 20Hz–20kHz frequency response makes it a capable choice for other high-SPL sources like bass cabinets or floor toms.

The supercardioid pattern provides a tight pickup area that excels at isolating the kick drum from the rest of the drum kit. This focused pattern helps reduce bleed from cymbals and snare drums, resulting in a cleaner signal.

Absolutely. The DM6 is built to handle up to 150 dBSPL, meaning it can capture the most aggressive playing styles without distorting or clipping the capsule.

Because the DM6 captures a full, balanced frequency range with exceptional transient detail, it often eliminates the need to blend an 'inside' and 'outside' mic. You get the attack and the body in a single, phase-coherent signal.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is designed for the rigors of professional live sound. It is compact and robust, making it well-suited for frequent setup and teardown on the road.
