Timeless transparency
The versatile DPA 4006A is without doubt the most popular mic in
DPA standard range and has rightly earned its status as a worldwide
recording standard. This highly sought after omni has forged its
enviable reputation over the past quarter of a century by
repeatedly exhibiting its total transparency in any recording
situation, and by picking up incredible detail and depth of sound.
The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide
range of instruments is undeniably impressive for the vast majority
of miking applications.
Renaissance microphone
With the 4006A, engineers, broadcasters and musicians alike can
achieve extremely clean, natural and precise reproduction in a
variety of applications. Ideal for A-B stereo pairs for symphonic
concert hall recordings, the 4006A also excels on vocals and for
close-miking instruments like grand piano, guitar, double bass and
percussion.
Several tools in one
A selection of acoustic modification accessories, including nose
cone and interchangeable protection grids, allows the 4006A to be
acoustically transformed into different microphone versions, making
it the most multifaceted mic in your collection and a tremendous
value. By simply changing a grid, it is possible to gain several
unique frequency responses and directional characteristics from a
single mic. Furthermore, these grids and elements will not produce
any phase shift, noise or distortion that would otherwise be
introduced by an electrical filter.
Also available as matched stereo pair and surround kit
The ST4006A stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM
Case, the stereo matching is free of charge. |
