Some sensitive audio interfaces and microphone preamps without pads may not be able
to handle the high signal levels that occur when close-miking drums with Earthworks
microphones. The solution is to use an external inline pad such as the Earthworks LP20
LevelPad between the microphone and the interface.
The small tip on many of our microphones allows them to capture the highest frequencies of
your sound. Please be gentle and considerate when handling the microphones with these tips.
Please do not excessively bend the gooseneck beyond 90 degrees. Doing so on a consistent
basis will cause the wand portion to deteriorate and lose its ability to stay in the desired position.
