DPA 5015A d:mension™ Surround Kit
The DPA d:dicate 5015A Surround Mic kit is designed to provide a focused multi-mic solution for surround and multi mic recording settings.
Consisting of five 4015A wide cardioid (hemispheric) condenser mics, tuned to within 0.5dB difference of each other, the DPA standard tolerances are tuned even further to harmonise each mic’s response for a refined and balanced sound.
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 DPA 5015A comes packed in a hard wearing, heavy duty Peli case for transportation and protection and all relevant mic clips and windshields are included.
DPA 5015A Features
- Wide pickup area and natural sound
- Five carefully matched microphones
- Ambience pickup with convenient directionality
- PeliTM Case transportation and protection
