DPA Microphones 4015-C Reviews

Detail & portability

I love the detail that this mic picks up. The wider spread and small footprint makes it ideal for doing field recordings for sampling in music and foley. Close mikig does a good job of isolating asound, while pulling it back sets it in its environment, and its size allows it to be camera mounted with ease. Great mic!
