are the root cause of phase cancellations with conventional microphones.
In contrast, Earthworks has a patented polar technology that provides our
microphones with the same frequency response on the sides of the micro-
phone as it does at the front (no more than a 3dB loss at any frequency out to
90º off-axis). This very uniform frequency response at the front and sides of
the microphone will nearly eliminate any phasing issues when using Earthworks
microphones. In addition, Earthworks cardioid microphones have a very high
rejection of sounds at the rear (back) of the microphone. This feature will
greatly reduce the leakage of cymbals or other sounds at the rear of
Earthworks microphones.

Inserting the DP30/C Microphone into the RM1 RimMount
It is suggested that you insert the DP30/C microphone into the RM1 Rim-
Mount™ prior to attaching the RimMount to the drum.
To insert the DP30/C microphone into the RM1 RimMount™ just place the
mic head and the mini-gooseneck into the rubber holder from the bottom of
the RimMount. Then push the body of the microphone from the bottom (XLR
connector end) to move the microphone up inside the rubber holder. The fit
will be firm, so you will need to apply a little pressure to move the micro-
phone body up into the rubber holder. The suggested procedure is indicated
in Figure 3.

Mounting the RM1 RimMount to the Drum
The RM1 RimMount is designed for metal drum rims, and will not work on
wooden drum rims. While reading this section, please refer to Figure 4-A,

which refers to the various elements of the RimMount™. Mounting the Rim-
Mount to the drum rim is quite easy. First, unscrew the thumbscrew so there
is more than enough space for the Delrin® cushioned rim-guide to clear the
bottom of the drum rim. Then determine where on the drum rim you want
to place the microphone and place the top “hook portion” of the RimMount
bracket over the drum rim.
Figure 4-A. Elements of the RM1 RimMount™
Referring to Figure 4-B, notice that on the cushioned rim-guide there are
two sets of grooves. One set of grooves is in the “center” of the rim-guide,
while the other set of grooves is “off center” (or closer to the edge of the
rim-guide). These two sets of grooves provide you with “three” mounting op-
tions: (1) placing the “off center” rim-guide grooves close to the drum shell,
(2) or rotating the “off center” grooves 180 degrees will place the rim-guide
further away from the drum shell, and (3) the “center” grooves will allow
placement in-between the positions described in (1) and (2) of this paragraph.
