The CXO4000 holder features mounting of DPA Compact
Cardioid microphones in both a coincident XY stereo configuration as well as in
a near coincident ORTF combined time and intensity difference stereo
configuration.
Two hooks in the middle of the stereo holder are for XY stereo, while two hooks
on the side are for ORTF stereo. It is even possible to use both stereo setups
simultaneously in order to compare afterwards in the editing process or to
record in surround sound using one front and one back-orientated stereo setup.
The lightweight holder is a very convenient and practical tool mounting on a
single microphone stand and with the DPA compact microphones, taking up little
space. Shock mounting is done with the EXY4000 Extension for Compact Stereo
Holders and the UA0897 Shock Mount.
The holder is made of black anodized aluminium and ethyl propylene rubber rings
to ensure durability and stability. For flexibility, the holder also includes a
thread adapter for attachment to most common microphone stands.
In order to receive an authentic reproduction of the total sound field (direct
and ambient sound elements) it is extremely important to use microphones that
have a linear and clean off-axis response. Likewise, it is a critical factor
that the microphone manufacturer is able to deliver two microphones that are,
within a narrow tolerance, identical in frequency response and sensitivity. DPA
Microphones fulfil these demands.
