About DPA Microphones ST4015A

Recording orchestras or other acoustic ensembles sometimes requires a compromise between blending in the room reverberation and a more precise localization. The wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric) design covers a greater sound angle and is also an excellent choice for grand piano, guitar, marimba and percussion or as a spot mic for groups in a symphony orchestra. The DPA ST4015A is a complete DPA 4015A Stereo Pair with two carefully factory-matched wide cardioid microphones. Even though the standard tolerances on DPA Reference Standards are extremely low, a stereo match is even closer. The specially selected DPA 4015A microphones are matched within +/-1 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity. The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of microphone/accessory inlays.

Two carefully matched 4015A wide cardioid microphones, sturdy Peli case, holders and windscreens.
