While maintaining a strong lineage to the highly esteemed DPA 4006 omnidirectional microphone, the DPA d:dicate 2006A Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone with Preamplifier, 20Hz-20kHz, introduces innovative capsule technology that sets a new standard in audio excellence. This microphone, part of the versatile d:dicate Recording Mics series, features the groundbreaking Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology, which combines the benefits of small capsules, such as fast impulse response and extensive frequency bandwidth, with the lower inherent noise of a larger diaphragm area.
The 2006A model, equipped with the MMP-A preamplifier, is the go-to choice for audiophiles seeking low distortion and a sound that is both accurate and faithful. For those seeking a touch more depth in the low end, the 2006C MMP-C compact preamplifier offers a subtle character alteration and an easier-to-position approach.
The d:dicate 2006A microphone is designed for modular upgradability. It can be easily transformed into a new configuration by pairing it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp, without the need for any tools. This flexibility ensures that the microphone can adapt to a variety of recording situations, making it a versatile addition to any audio equipment collection.
The sound quality produced by the 2006A microphone is so well-balanced that it meets the stringent demands of the DPA Reference Standard league. This makes it an excellent choice for recording acoustic piano, guitar, wind instruments, and choirs. When used as the main AB stereo pair, the 2006A offers an impeccable blend of two ordinary frequency responses from the 4006, with a specially tailored high-frequency response that perfectly bridges the responses from the near-field (silver) grid and the diffuse-field (black) grid.
Key features of the DPA d:dicate 2006A Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone with Preamplifier, 20Hz-20kHz, include its modular flexibility, innovative Twin-Diaphragm-Capsule technology, and commitment to acoustic authenticity. Its linear performance across a large frequency bandwidth ensures that it captures the true tone of any sound source, delivering a level of acoustic fidelity that redefines the concept of value for money in premium class microphones.
