About DPA Microphones 2006C

Under the banner of superior audio technology, the DPA d:dicate 2006C Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone with Compact Preamplifier, operating within a 20Hz-20kHz frequency range, is a testament to high-quality sound recording. Drawing inspiration from the esteemed DPA 4006 omni microphone, the 2006C model is a symbol of innovation and performance, distinguished by its Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology.

The 2006C microphone is a part of the versatile DPA d:dicate Recording Microphones series, renowned for its modular upgradability. This model, equipped with the MMP-C compact preamplifier, offers a nuanced sound character with a touch more 'body' to the lower frequencies, making it easier to position for optimal sound capture. For the audiophiles, the 2006A variant with the MMP-A preamplifier is the go-to choice, delivering low distortion and a sound that is both accurate and faithful.

The Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology is a standout feature of the 2006C microphone. This technology incorporates two opposite-facing miniature capsules into a double diaphragm, single-capsule composition. This unique design combines the benefits of small capsules, such as fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth, with the lower inherent noise of a larger diaphragm area. These capsules are connected to the superior d:dicate Recording Microphone preamps, offering even more precision and airiness in sound capture.

The DPA d:dicate 2006C microphone is dedicated to acoustic authenticity, making it an ideal choice for engineers and musicians seeking to capture the true acoustic fingerprint of their sound. It excels in recording acoustic piano, guitar, wind instruments, and choirs. As a main AB stereo pair, the 2006C offers a perfect blend of two ordinary frequency responses from the 4006, with a specially tailored high-frequency response that lies perfectly between the responses from the near-field (silver) grid and the diffuse-field (black) grid.

Key features of the DPA d:dicate 2006C Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone include its modular flexibility, Twin-Diaphragm-Capsule technology, acoustic authenticity, and linearity across a large frequency bandwidth. This microphone is a true embodiment of value for money, performing at the level of more exclusive, premium class microphones.
