Product Overview
Visually discrete, audibly stunning. The DPA 4015C wide cardioid microphone displays a linear off-axis frequency response that imparts a natural, authentic quality when recording orchestras or acoustic instruments where the room sound is desirable. The ST4015C package consists of a 4015 stereo pair with clips and windscreens in a Pelican road case.
The 4015's wide cardioid pattern faithfully blends room reverberation with the directional sound of the source. What you hear is what the 4015 hears and captures. This makes it ideal for recording grand piano or room miking a drum kit or other percussion instruments. The 4015 also makes an excellent vocal or dubbing mic with a natural rich low end that's never boomy.
