DPA Microphones 4028 Compact Wide Cardioid

Product Description

great choice for grand piano, guitar, marimba, percussion set-ups or as support mic
pure and clear sound for speak/dub
comes in three variants: with rear cable, side cable or connector

The Compact Wide Cardioid is a phantom powered (P48) condenser microphone using the same type of cartridge as the DPA 4015, but is preamplified using a build-in ultra-small thick-film mounted FET-preamplifier.

The linear frequency response together with the nice and subtle high frequency lift give that brilliant sparkle of purity, which will bring your sound to a higher level. The ultra-small design makes the Compact Wide Cardioid the perfect choice whenever high definition audio and insignificant size is paramount. With unbelievable depth and precision, the DPA Compact Wide Cardioids will exceed your expectations on choirs, percussion, grand pianos, reed and brass instruments and much more.
