From DPA Microphones (Bruel & Kjaer)
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 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.
Included in this kit
Two carefully matched 4015A wide cardiod microphones, sturdy PeliTM case, holders, grids and windscreens
