Earthworks Audio annonce deux kits de micros adaptés à la reprise de batterie. Chacun est livré dans une caisse en bois qui contient trois micros, deux destinés aux overheads et un pour la grosse caisse, un KickPad™ et une bonnette.
Le DK25/R est adapté à l’enregistrement studio avec deux TC25 (omnis) pour les overheads et un SR25 (cardioide) pour la grosse caisse.
Le DK25/L est quant à lui constitué de trois SR25, ce qui le destinera plutôt au live.
L’originalité du système vient du fait qu’on insére le 'KickPad’ entre le micro et le préampli, un dispositif qui optimise la réponse du micro pour la grosse caisse. On notera que ce système peut être utilisé sur n’importe quel autre micro spécifiquement destiné à reprendre cet instrument.
Les trois micros constituant chaque kit peuvent d’ailleurs être utilisés pour reprendre d’autres sources telles du chant ou des instruments.
