The compact 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphone from DPA is designed for capturing vocals, close miking instruments, amplifier cabinets, and similar sources in live sound reinforcement and crucial recording applications. It features a wide cardioid condenser element for minimizing off-axis noise and providing a linear tonal response at the off-axis sections. Additionally, the microphone maintains a linear tonal response when closely positioned near speaker cabinets, percussion, and other instruments. There is an output stage that provides faithful recreations of the original source material and an included windscreen and microphone clip.
