Earthworks TC Series Microphones 
TC20, TC25, TC30

The TC series (Time Coherent) is designed for recording louder sources such as drums, percussion, amplified instruments and loud sound effects. Microphones in this series allow recording of louder acoustic sources without overloading the preamplifier. They effortlessly handle high sound pressure levels up to 150dB SPL while simultaneously capturing subtle details. The TC series provides all of the same attributes as the QTC series in impulse response, diaphragm settling time and extended frequency response. All models in the TC series have an exceptional flat frequency response and are time coherent, so they sound natural and uncolored.

Earthworks TC20 - Cardioid - 50Hz to 20kHz
Earthworks TC20mp - TC20 matched pair

The TC20 is great for a wide variety of applications. It is Earthworks least expensive general-purpose omni with high frequency response to 20kHz. Its sound and performance is similar to the TC30 or TC25 and covers the same range of applications. For live sound the TC20 can be used for close miking instrument amps, drums or brass. A TC20 under the strings of a standup bass or inside a kick drum will produce amazing sound. A pair of TC20s connected to a stereo recorder will provide great results for recording rehearsals and performances. Many musicians use a matched pair for recording their groups in the studio or during a live performance. It is great for general studio use and is an exceptional value.

The TC25 was specifically designed for drums and is also ideal for a wide variety of other instruments. It was engineered to be used in the DrumKit System, but can also provide stunning results on a wide variety of instruments and vocals. It has the same attributes as the TC30 except its high frequency response goes to 25kHz. It will handle up to 145 dB SPL, is smaller in size, weighs less, and costs less than the TC30. The performance vs. price ratio of this microphone is excellent.

Earthworks TC30 - Omni - 9Hz to 30kHz
Earthworks TC30mp - TC30 matched pair

The TC30 is a general-purpose omni. It is an ideal choice for close miking louder sources like guitar, bass, piano, horns and percussion. The TC30 is very popular for drum overheads. It is incredibly clean up to 150 dB SPL while simultaneously capturing subtle details. Its fast, clean impulse performance yields a remarkably transparent sound. It is an excellent room mic for ambiance in the studio and for recording rehearsals and performances. It has no handling noise, no proximity effect and is very forgiving in terms of placement.
