DPA Microphones 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Mic

Description

The DPA Microphones 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Mic is an excellent spot mic as a fill-in between an omni and a cardioid. The compact version is easier to position than other cardioid microphones. Visually discreet, the 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Mic represents an indispensably low-profile solution for audio engineers and set designers alike. Tremendously precise and natural-sounding, these mics will certainly exceed expectations when used on choirs, percussion setups, grand pianos, wind instruments and much more.
