DPA 4006 - d:dicate™ 4006ES Omni Mic, Side Cable, XLR

DPA 4006 - d:dicate™ 4006ES Omni Mic

The DPA d:dicate 4006 ES is a compact high quality microphone with an ultra-transparent preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. With side cable entry. This Omni Mic offers total transparency in any recording situation. It picks up incredible detail and depth of sound. The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide range of instruments is impressive. It offers natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and linear frequency response from 10 to 20 kHz (±2 dB).

This mic is linear and true in character. It has earned its status as a worldwide recording standard and is the most popular mic in our d:dicate™ Recording Microphone Series. This highly sought after mic has forged its enviable reputation over the past quarter of a century by repeatedly exhibiting its total transparency in any recording situation.

A wide selection of accessories is available, including acoustic pressure equalizers, a nose cone and interchangeable protection grids. These accessories can acoustically transform the mic. By changing grids, it is possible to gain several unique frequency responses and directional characteristics. Furthermore, these accessories will not produce any phase shift, noise or distortion that would otherwise be introduced by an electrical filter. These accessories are available in the d:dicate™ Stereo Kits and d:mension™ and Surround Kits.
