- 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.
Presented here with a cable length of 15'', this Warm Audio Premier Series XLR Cable is designed to provide a high-end connection between balanced gear with XLR jacks, such as microphones, outboard equipment, and interface-to-monitoring connections. If you care about the details of your sound onstage and in the studio, use this cable to preserve your signal.
This XLR cable is chock-full of features that enable a top-of-the-line performance, such as gold-plated connectors and a star-quad wiring scheme for superior RFI rejection in the balancing process. Double-Ruessen shielding helps protect against EMI, and a braided outer wrap fights against tangling. To guarantee an optimal performance, Warm Audio partnered with Gotham AG, one of Switzerland's best producers of premium cable.
Star-quad construction takes that concept even further by using five cores instead of three. Two cores are provided each for the positive and negative legs, as well as a single ground. This helps to further shield the audio from RFI (radio frequency interference), ensuring an even better performance.
