DPA 5015A Surround Mic Kit with Five 4015A

The DPA 5015A is a complete DPA 4015A surround kit with five carefully factory-matched wide cardioid microphones. Even though the standard tolerances on DPA Reference Standards are extremely low, the surround match is even closer.

The specially selected DPA 4015A microphones are matched within ±1 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity from mean of set. The maximum phase response difference is 5°.

Recording orchestras or other acoustic ensembles sometimes requires a compromise between blending in the room reverberation and a more precise localization. The natural response and dynamic range make the DPA 4015As an obvious choice for Precise tone quality and wide dynamic range make 5015A right for AB, Decca Tree or surround main arrays like the DPA Wide Cardioid Surround Array.

The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of microphone/accessory inlays.
