Earthworks TC20mp 20kHz Omnidirectional Condenser Microphones – Matched Pair
Brand
Earthworks Audio
Looking to capture high-volume drum overheads, stereo acoustic instruments, or ambient room sound without preamp overload? The Earthworks TC20mp (Time Coherent) is a factory-calibrated stereo pair of omnidirectional condenser microphones engineered specifically for loud, transient-rich sources.
Capture thunderous high-SPL sources, complex stereo soundstages, and lightning-fast transients with absolute clarity using the Earthworks TC20mp Matched Pair Omnidirectional Condenser Microphones. Engineered specifically to handle extreme sound pressure levels without overloading, this factory-matched set delivers pristine, uncolored stereo capture for drum overheads, grand pianos, and heavily amplified instruments.
Why Choose the Earthworks TC20mp Matched Pair?
Tracking high-energy instruments in true stereo requires strict phase coherence, massive headroom, and identical response curves across both channels. The TC20mp matched pair solves this by combining a massive 150 dB SPL handling capacity with a smooth, linear frequency response spanning from 9Hz to 20kHz. Because of their true omnidirectional polar pattern, these microphones feature zero proximity effect—allowing close positioning against guitar cabinets or drum kits while maintaining a focused, natural, and immersive stereo image.
Key Performance Features
- Strict Factory-Matched Tolerances: Rigorously tested and paired to guarantee identical sensitivity and frequency response for seamless, pin-point stereo imaging.
- Extreme High-SPL Handling: Effortlessly manages sound pressure levels up to 150 dB SPL, allowing close-miking of high-output sources without distortion or clipping.
- Time-Coherent Frequency Response: Delivers a ruler-flat response from 9Hz to 20kHz, ensuring absolute phase accuracy and true-to-life transient reproduction.
- Lightning-Fast Transient Speed: Swiftly tracks rapid acoustic attacks and complex percussion hits with zero mechanical smearing or lag.
- True Omnidirectional Directivity: Flawless 360-degree pickup consistency captures natural room reflections and provides uniform off-axis sound.
- Complete Professional Package: Includes two matched microphones, precision clips, windscreens, and a secure transport case.
