About DPA Microphones d:dicate 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphone

Take your audio recording to the next level with the d:dicate 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphone with Compact Preamplifier. This high-quality, professional-grade microphone is a perfect choice for those who are already fans of the DPA 4011 series, offering an innovative alternative with its wide cardioid polar pattern.

Unlike conventional cardioid microphones, the 4015C captures a broader sound field, making it ideal for recording complex instruments and capturing the full depth of stirring performances. Its wide cardioid design, also known as hemispheric, covers a greater sound angle, making it an excellent choice for recording grand pianos, guitars, marimbas, and percussion. It also excels as a spot mic for groups in a symphony orchestra.

The d:dicate 4015C is not just for music; it's also an exceptional microphone for speech, dubbing, and vocals. Its enhanced richness on the bass end beautifully complements many voices, delivering clear, high-quality audio that is reliable and consistent.

One of the standout features of this durable microphone is its completely linear off-axis characteristics. This means that any sound leakage from off-axis sources is still faithfully reproduced, just softly attenuated. This feature ensures authentic sound reproduction, enhancing the overall audio quality.

Despite its small size, the 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphone offers a wide pickup area. It's visually discreet, making it an indispensable, low-profile solution for audio engineers and set designers. Whether you're recording choirs, percussion setups, wind instruments, or more, you can expect precise, natural-sounding results from this innovative microphone.

In summary, the d:dicate 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphone with Compact Preamplifier is a versatile, high-quality audio solution. Its wide cardioid pattern, natural reproduction, and directional ambience pickup make it a standout choice for professionals in the audio industry.
