DPA Microphones 4023 Compact Cardioid

Product Description

Uniquely natural and realistic sound
Handles extremely high sound pressure levels
Precise and detailed reproduction

The DPA Compact Cardioids are phantom powered (P48) condenser microphone using the same type of cartridge as the famous DPA 4011, but is preamplified using a built-in ultra-small thick-film mounted FET-preamplifier.

The result is the world's smallest studio quality cardioid condenser microphone, which runs directly on phantom power with no external preamplifier needed. Windscreen and suspension mount are included.

Three variants
There are three variants of the DPA Compact Cardioid.

The 4023 has a standard LEMO connector for simple and safe mounting and removal of the microphone and is designed for usage together with the elegant and flexible Flamingo Series floor stands.

The linear on-axis frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) together with the extremely smooth off-axis response makes the 4023 the optimal choice in live situations in front of both the non-professional and the professional performer. The Microphone is supplied with a 3 m (10 ft) cable LEMO to XLR.
