About DPA Microphones 3506A

You can capture pristine audio with the d:dicate 3506A Stereo Kit, a comprehensive solution featuring two meticulously factory-matched 4006A omnidirectional condenser microphones. These high-quality microphones are fine-tuned within an impressive +/-0.5 dB across both frequency range and sensitivity, ensuring a consistent and accurate audio capture across the entire frequency bandwidth.

Designed for the discerning audio professional, the 4006A microphones deliver an exceptionally clean, natural, and precise sound reproduction, suitable for a wide array of applications. Whether you're recording symphonic concerts in a grand hall with an A-B stereo setup, or capturing the nuanced tones of vocals, grand pianos, guitars, double basses, or percussion in close-miking scenarios, these microphones excel in delivering high-fidelity sound.

The d:dicate 3506A Stereo Kit stands out for its versatility and reliability. The high sensitivity, low noise-floor, and extremely linear frequency response of the microphone pair make it the ideal choice for all professional A-B stereo recordings. The kit's robust construction ensures durability, making it a reliable addition to any professional audio equipment arsenal.

Moreover, the kit includes a selection of acoustic modification accessories, such as interchangeable protection grids and APE30RS acoustic pressure equalizers with 30mm balls, which enable you to tailor the microphones to a variety of acoustic environments. By simply swapping a grid or adding an equalizer ball, you can achieve multiple unique frequency responses and directional characteristics from a single microphone, without the phase shift, noise, or distortion typically introduced by electrical filters.

The d:dicate 3506A Stereo Kit is a testament to the professional and versatile capabilities of DPA Microphones, offering a multifaceted recording experience that is second to none. With the included DD0251 free-field grids, you have even more control over your recording environment, ensuring that your audio is captured with the utmost clarity and detail.

Whether you're a recording engineer, broadcaster, or musician, the d:dicate 3506A Stereo Kit is a durable, high-quality, and professional choice that will elevate your audio recordings to the highest standard of excellence.
