Upgraded active internal electronics We’re longtime DM20 users here at Sweetwater, and we didn’t think there was any room for improvement. Well, with the unveiling of the DM20 Gen 2, Earthworks has proven us wrong. The company has bolstered its internals with active electronics to not only draw less phantom power but also to safeguard the microphone against accidental hot-swapping disasters. While all professionals understand that you should never plug a condenser mic into a preamp with the phantom power engaged, it invariably occurs in the midst of the chaos — especially when you’re in the field. But, thanks to the DM20 Gen 2’s active internal electronics, you won’t have to worry about a fried mic every time this happens. Overhauled rim-mounting system Everything about the Earthworks DM20 Gen 2 is designed for speed. You’ll be blown away by how much time you’ll save by virtue of this microphone’s overhauled rim-mounting system. Not only does it make setup and tear-down fast and easy, but it’s also compatible with more kits and percussion instruments than ever. Time is money, so stop wasting it and use the DM20 instead.
