The DPA 4006C Omnidirectional Microphone is a small, light-weight, inconspicuous mic, offering total transparency in any recording situation. Featuring natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and extremely linear frequency response, it picks up incredible detail and depth of sound.
The DPA 4006C Omnidirectional Microphone is a very flexible solution for sound engineers, broadcasters and musicians. Whenever a small, lightweight and inconspicuous microphone for top-quality recording is required, the DPA 4006C Compact Omni Mic is the perfect choice. The mic design is compact and clean. The DPA 4006C is a very versatile recording microphone. It is popular as an A-B stereo pair in concert halls where quality recordings can sometimes be compromised by classic architecture. The DPA 4006C can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean, transparent recordings.
The DPA 4006C Compact Omnidirectional Microphone is ideal for use in theatres, opera houses, concert halls and houses of worship – anywhere there is a live audience. It can also be for film recordings, both in the studio and on location. Musicians like to use this mic to close mic some instruments, such as the double bass, trumpet and piano. At the same time, they are fantastic for ambience miking on soundstages, in sports stadiums and other environments where audience sound needs to be recorded.
Several Tools in One
A selection of acoustic modification accessories, including nose cone and interchangeable protection grids, allows the DPA 4006C to be acoustically transformed into different microphone versions, making it the most multifaceted mic in your collection and a tremendous value. By simply changing a grid, it is possible to gain several unique frequency responses and directional characteristics from a single mic. Furthermore, these grids and elements will not produce any phase shift, noise or distortion that would otherwise be introduced by an electrical filter.
