IMPORTANT NOTICE - Please Read This:
The SR25 cardioid microphone is designed to be used for the kick drum. DO
NOT use the omni TC25 for close miking a kick drum. Earthworks omni
microphones have extended low frequency response that goes down in the
5Hz to 9Hz range and in certain conditions may cause overload or distor-
tion when using the KickPad™. There is a lot of energy (power) at subsonic
frequencies. The SR25 and other Earthworks cardioid microphones have a
low frequency response in the 30Hz to 40Hz range which will not pick up
subsonic information. We therefore recommend the use of cardioid mics on
kick drum when using the KickPad
TM
. This not only applies to Earthworks
microphones, but applies to microphones made by other manufacturers as
well. Use only cardioid microphones for close miking kick drums when using
the KickPad.
