The DPA 4015 is a wide cardioid condenser microphone with frequency and sensitivity characteristics that are well suited for professional recording or sound reinforcement applications. The wide cardioid polar pattern is the middle ground between a directional cardioid and generous omnidirectional polar patterns.
The wide cardioid pattern provides a generous pick up angle while rejecting off-axis signal and ambiance that causes feedback and residual noise. The end result is a microphone that delivers the pristine fidelity and noise suppression suitable for spot instrument capturing, vocal performances, speech and stereo ambiance capturing in recording and sound reinforcement applications.
DPA's UA0896 Windscreen for 0.75" (19 mm) Microphones works well indoors and outdoors but is best suited for vocal performances from short distances.
