DPA Microphones d:dicate 4015A Wide Cardioid Microphone with Preamplifier, 20Hz-20kHz

Why settle for less when you can capture the full spectrum of sound with the d:dicate 4015A Wide Cardioid Microphone with Preamplifier This high-performance microphone, designed by the renowned DPA, offers an exciting alternative for those familiar with the DPA 4011 series. The 4015A stands out with its wide cardioid polar pattern, acting as the perfect intermediary between an omni and a more directional microphone.

Ideal for recording intricate instruments, this microphone's generous polar pattern allows for the capture of a broader sound field. This ensures a more accurate representation of performances that radiate complex sound patterns, which a conventional cardioid pattern might not fully encompass.

The d:dicate 4015A is not just for musical instruments; it's also an excellent choice for recording orchestras, ensembles, and even solo vocals. Its wide cardioid design, also known as hemispheric, covers a greater sound angle, making it an exceptional choice for recording grand pianos, guitars, marimbas, and percussion. It also serves as an effective spot mic for groups in a symphony orchestra.

When it comes to vocal recording, the 4015A shines with its enhanced richness on the bass end, complementing a wide range of voices. This makes it an excellent choice for speech recording, dubbing, or vocal performances.

One of the unique features of the 4015A is its completely linear off-axis characteristics. This ensures that any sound leakage from off-axis sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, albeit softly attenuated.

The d:dicate 4015A is also a specialist in handling extreme sound levels. It's capable of managing extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping occurs. To prevent overloading of the mic amp, the 4015A includes a 20 dB pad switch in the center of the XLR connector.

Key features of the d:dicate 4015A Wide Cardioid Microphone with Preamplifier include its low profile, wide pickup area, natural sound reproduction, and directional ambience pickup. Experience exceptional vocal and instrumental recording with the d:dicate 4015A.
