International Orders*The DPA 4015A Wide Cardioid Microphone is a coveted favorite among industry professionals, and a viable solution for capturing vocals, close miking instruments, amplifier cabinets and other sources in live sound reinforcement and crucial recording applications alike. The 4015A features a wide cardioid condenser element noted for minimizing off-axis noise and providing a linear tonal response at the off-axis sections.
Closely position the 4015A to speaker cabinets, percussion instruments and other instruments while effectively maintaining a linear tonal response. The 4015A's output stage provides faithful recreations of the original source material.
