- Equally at home in the orchestra pit, on a live stage, or in the studio, the 2012 is a versatile mic that captures detailed, natural sound from numerous sources, including guitars, horns, percussion, and more.
- The microphone is designed for close-miking and offers a linear frequency response when positioned about 11.8 inches from the source.
- A flat on-axis frequency response with a light presence boost in the 5 to 12 kHz range provides faithful reproduction of instrumental performances.
- The 17mm electret-condenser capsule offers an outstanding transient response to deliver rich, expressive sound and can handle peak SPLs up to 156 dB with a 10% THD, allowing you to use it on loud sources, including snare drums as well as electric guitar and bass cabinets.
- The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture in front of the mic and ensures that any bleed from other instruments is a truly accurate reflection of the original sound.
- Live performance stages can be difficult environments for equipment, especially for a go-to mic that you'll use on every show.
- The 2012 is built with a thick and robust structure that can stand up to the everyday abuses of touring and performing, with extra-durable surfaces for more graceful aging.
- The compact size makes it easier to optimally place the mic, even on cramped stages packed with equipment.
- The included professional-quality holder provides a firm grip to keep the mic in place.
- Connect the standard 3-pin XLR connector to a wide variety of mixing boards and preamplifiers and power the electret-condenser capsule with 48V phantom power.
- Equally at home in the orchestra pit, on a live stage, or in the studio, the 2015 is a versatile mic you can use to capture detailed, natural sound from a wide range of instruments, including grand pianos, horn groups, vibraphones, marimbas, xylophones, and other large instruments; it's also an excellent choice for drum overheads.
- Recording with a stereo pair in an A/B or X/Y configuration provides many good mix options, especially for overhead, ambient, and ensemble recordings.
- The stereo pairs for DPA's 2000 series pencil microphones are selected with ±1.5 dB sensitivity tolerance.
- The microphone offers a linear frequency response when positioned about 11.8 inches from the source.
- A flat on-axis frequency response with a light presence boost in the 5 to 15 kHz range provides faithful reproduction of instrumental performances.
- The 17mm electret-condenser capsule delivers rich, expressive sound and can handle SPLs up to 147 dB and peak SPLs up to 153 dB with a 10% THD, allowing you to use it on loud sources.
- The uniform wide-cardioid polar pattern provides 3 dB of attenuation at 90° and 6 dB of attenuation at 135°. This pattern ensures performance that is similar to an omnidirectional microphone from the front, but from the back, it exhibits performance similar to a cardioid mic.
- The uniform off-axis response ensures that any bleed from other instruments is a truly accurate reflection of the original sound.
- Live performance stages can be difficult environments for equipment, especially for a go-to mic that you'll use on every show.
- The 2015 is built with a thick and robust structure that can stand up to the everyday abuses of touring and performing, with extra-durable surfaces for more graceful aging.
- The compact size makes it easier to optimally place the mics, even on cramped stages packed with equipment.
- The included professional quality holders provide a firm grip to keep the mics in place; foam windscreens are also supplied.
- Connect each mic's standard 3-pin XLR connector to a wide variety of mixing boards and preamplifiers and power the electret-condenser capsule with 48V phantom power.
Capture the full, rich sound of your kick drum accurately with the 4055 Kick Drum Microphone from DPA. Unlike other bass drum mics that are tailored to emphasize certain frequencies for specific genres, the 4055 aims for a more linear response with only a subtle 6 dB boost in the 10 kHz range. This more sonically neutral approach captures the true sound of the drum, letting you add your own EQ, if necessary, to work within the context of your mix.
The package includes the UA0961 microphone holder, and the asymmetrical design makes it easy to place the mic inside or outside of the kick drum. Slide the mic into the bass drum for more attack or place it just outside the hole for maximum subs and bottom-end. The linear on- and off-axis response provide a round yet tight sound with extended low end and detailed mid and high frequencies. Robust housing protects the mic from even the most aggressive performers, while wind-damping foam behind the capsule protects the microphone element and keeps excess air noise in check.
- Picks up the clear, true sound of the kick drum
- Flat frequency response, so you can shape the sound your way
- Built tough to withstand rough use on the live stage
- Asymmetric design for easy placement inside or outside the kick drum
- Open cardioid pickup pattern
- 40 Hz to 18 kHz effective frequency range with 6 dB soft boost at 10 kHz
- 132 dB dynamic range
- 164 dB maximum input SPL (at 10% THD)
- Requires 48V phantom power
The Core 4099 Instrument Microphone, Extreme SPL, with Clip for Drum from DPA is designed to capture audio from your instrument for live sound and recording applications. The clip for drum mount can be adjusted by one hand and is optimized to attach itself gently to your instrument to prevent damage and marks.
The Core 4099 has a pre-polarized condenser capsule with a supercardioid polar pattern. Its gooseneck allows for a variety of positioning possibilities. The microphone terminates with a 5.5" gooseneck and a MicroDot connector. It includes a cable and an XLR adapter providing compatibility with mixers and sound reinforcement systems.
