The 4015A 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 allows you to maintain a linear tonal response when closely positioning it near speaker cabinets, percussion, and other instruments. There is a 20 dB pad switch in the center of the XLR connector to prevent overloading of the amp and an output stage that provides faithful recreations of the original source material. The package includes a microphone clip and a windscreen.
