Just imagine capturing the full ambiance of a live stage performance with the 2015 Compact Wide Cardioid Condenser Stereo Microphone Pair in Matte Black. Specifically designed for ambient pickup of drum kits and other instrument groups, these microphones excel in live settings where a conventional cardioid pattern might fall short. The wide cardioid design, also known as hemispheric, subcardioid, or hypocardioid, offers a broader sound angle, making it an excellent choice for recording instrument groups with complex radiation patterns.
Constructed for durability, the 2015 microphones feature a robust brass body known for its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand metal fatigue. The protective black chrome finish on the mic handle and grille ensures they age gracefully, even under the rigors of a hectic live stage environment.
The 2015 microphones boast a wide cardioid capsule with DPA's renowned flat off-axis response, providing high gain-before-feedback. This feature simplifies the task for sound engineers by naturally attenuating off-axis sounds, reducing bleed from nearby instruments. The spacious pick-up pattern allows these microphones to be positioned closer to the drum kit than typical overheads, capturing a strong signal with minimal stage bleed.
Renowned for their natural and precise sound reproduction, the 2015 microphones deliver pure, transparent audio quality, a hallmark of DPA microphones. Their compact design allows for unobtrusive placement on stage, ensuring an open and natural sound pick-up without obstructing the visual performance.
While available as a single microphone, the 2015 truly excels as a matched stereo pair, selected with a sensitivity tolerance of +/- 1.5 dB. This configuration is ideal for a variety of applications, including overheads on drums, grand pianos (whether away or close to the strings), horn groups, vibraphones, xylophones, large marimbas, and other large instruments. Enhance your live sound setup with the 2015 Compact Wide Cardioid Condenser Stereo Microphone Pair, and experience unparalleled audio clarity and durability.
