Redefining value for money
The new DPA 2006 microphone has strong references to the acclaimed
DPA 4006 omni microphone – by its type number 06, its overall
sound character, and its industrial design.
The difference is in the capsule technology that in the 2000 series
features the new Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology. Comparison with
its big brother, the iconic 4006, is inevitable. The relationship
between the two is clearly heard from the first 2006 audio glance;
the 2000 series simply performs like much more exclusive
microphones from the premium class and redefines the term value for
money.
Modular upgradability
2006A is part of the flexible d:dicate Recording Mics series. The
2006A with the MMP-A preamplifier is the audiophile’s choice
with low distortion and total accurate and faithful sound, where
the 2006C MMP-C compact preamplifier offers a subtle character
alteration with a bit more “body” to the low end
– in addition to its easier-to-position approach.
At any time and with no tools necessary it is possible to transform
the basic 2006 microphone into a new configuration by combining it
with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp.
Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology
The overall distinctive sound image from the DPA miniatures is so
well balanced that it meets the high demands of the DPA Reference
Standard league.
In a 2006 capsule two opposite facing miniature capsules are custom
re-built into a double diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This
combines the advantages of small capsules (fast impulse response
and large frequency bandwidth) with lower inherent noise achieved
from a larger diaphragm area.
The capsules are loaded to the supreme Reference Standard preamps
instead of the tiny miniature FET preamp from the miniature mics,
offering even more air and precision.
Dedicated to acoustic authenticity
Every engineer and musician concerned with getting the precise
acoustic fingerprint on track will be pleased by the true tone
delivered by the 2006. Acoustic piano, guitar, wind instruments and
choirs are among the most evident applications.
As main AB stereo pair the 2006s offer an impeccable combination of
two ordinary frequency responses from the 4006 with specially
tailored high frequency response that lies perfectly in between the
responses from the near-field (silver) grid and the diffuse-field
(black) grid.
Also available as selected stereo pair
The ST2006A stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM
Case. |
