DPA Microphones 4053
Compact Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone, Connector

4053

The DPA 4053 is an omnidirectional phantom powered (P48) condenser microphone using the same type of cartridge as the famous DPA 4006, but is preamplified using a build-in ultra-small thick-film mounted FET-preamplifier, which enables the cartridge to be mounted on a extremely compact microphone housing. The 4053 has a standard LEMO-connector for simple and safe mounting and removal of the microphone capsule but also for usage together with the elegant and flexible Flamingo Series floor stands.

The linear on-axis frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) together with the ultra-small design makes the 4053 the perfect choice for all kinds of on-camera or on-stage use where high definition audio is paramount. The DPA 4053 Compact Omnis are extremely popular as A-B Stereo pairs in concert halls where the beautiful architecture has to go hand in hand with quality recordings.

The Microphone is supplied with a 3 m cable Lemo to XLR.
