About DPA Microphones d:dicate 4012 Cardioid Microphone, 130V, 40Hz-20kHz

The Cardioid Microphone 4012 is a hi-voltage (130 V) condenser microphone with a linear frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz (+/-2 dB) and an incredible SPL handling capability of 168 dB SPL peak before clipping occurs. Type 4012 is acoustically identical with the popular Type 4011-TL, but differs in the powering method which enables the 4012 to handle these extreme sound pressure levels.

The off-axis characteristics of the 4012 Cardioid Microphone are totally linear, a unique quality which has taken a lot of attention to obtain. So any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, though attenuated according to the true first order cardioid pick-up pattern. Holder and windscreen are included.
