DPA Microphones CXY4000
X-Y Stereo Holder

CXY4000

The CXY4000 holder features mounting of two DPA Compact Cardioid microphones in a coincident intensity difference XY stereo configuration with 90° between the capsules.

The lightweight holder is a very convenient and practical tool for mounting on a single microphone stand. Together with DPA compact microphones, the setup is inconspicuous in your recording of space and fits snuggly into windjammers. Shock mounting is done with the EXY4000 Extension for Compact Stereo Holders and the UA0897 Shock Mount.

The holder is made of black anodized aluminum 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.

The XY setup has a great advantage in being completely mono compatible, since no comb filtering will appear when left and right are summed to mono.

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 fulfill these demands.

Typical applications:

• When you need to be mono compatible
• When you want to boom in stereo
• Various stereo applications for broadcast use
• When heavy windscreens are needed in a simple setup
• When the microphone setup needs to be inconspicuous
