The DPA 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphone is an excellent spot mic as a fill-in between an omni and a cardioid. The compact design is easier to position than other cardioid microphones. Visually discreet, the 4015C represents an indispensably low-profile solution for audio engineers and set designers alike.

The DPA 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Microphone comes equipped with MMP-C Ultra-compact Preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps for DPA's pencil mics. Tremendously precise and natural sounding, the DPA 4015C will certainly exceed expectations when used on choirs, percussion setups, grand pianos, wind instruments and much more.

Limitless Applications
Recording orchestras or other 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 an excellent choice for grand piano, guitar, marimba, and percussion, or as a spot mic for groups in a symphony orchestra. Likewise, it is an excellent speech, dubbing, or vocal mic as its enhanced richness on the bass end nicely compliments many voices.

Completely Linear, Even Off-axis
The off-axis characteristics of the DPA 4015C are totally linear, a unique quality when it comes to authentic sound reproduction. Any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, just softly attenuated.
