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

distortion when using the KickPad™. There is a lot of energy (power) at
subsonic frequencies. The SR25 and other Earthworks cardioid micro-

phones 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 KickPadTM. 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.
