Earthworks DM6 Kick Drum and Bass Amp Microphone

The DM6 is a supercardioid pre-polarized condenser purpose-built for kick drum and bass cabinet, where most dynamic mics compress the attack and lose the low end. A 20 Hz to 20 kHz response and a 150 dB maximum SPL rating let it sit inside the shell or inches from a cabinet without folding under level.

Its machined stainless steel body and painted steel windscreen are built for touring, and it runs on standard 48 V phantom power. A limited Seismic edition ships in the same specification with a distinct finish - select above.
