Its reputation is based on a \"no coloration\" approach: the microphone aims to reproduce the source as it is, with remarkable spatial sensation and clarity. This philosophy makes it a recurring choice when seeking a dependable capture capable of spanning styles and production constraints, from classical to contemporary music, including broadcast and transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts position in the lineup is clear: to offer a \u003cstrong\u003epremium omnidirectional capture\u003c\/strong\u003e focused on realism, while remaining adaptable through acoustic modification elements. The result: a single microphone can cover multiple \"behaviors\" of sound capture depending on the soundstage to be reproduced and placement distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Sound Sources Is the DPA 4006A Designed For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4006A is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003esound engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e, stage managers, studios, and musicians seeking an extremely natural capture with a coherent response across a wide range of instruments. In stereo, it is particularly suited to A-B configurations for \u003cstrong\u003esymphony orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e in concert halls, when the goal is to achieve a wide, realistic, and spacious image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also excels in close-miking demanding acoustic sources: \u003cstrong\u003econcert grand piano\u003c\/strong\u003e, guitar, double bass, percussion, as well as on \u003cstrong\u003evocals\u003c\/strong\u003e when preserving texture and micro-details without artificial magnification effects is desired. Thanks to its high SPL handling, it can withstand dynamic sources while maintaining the naturalness of transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTransparency, Adaptation, and Control: Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAn Omnidirectional Capsule Designed for Fidelity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEquipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eMMC4006 capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring omnidirectional directivity, the 4006A is designed to capture the overall balance of a source and its environment. This directivity facilitates realistic reproduction of natural reverberations and depth of field, a major asset for acoustic ensembles, solo instruments in beautiful rooms, and any recording where space is part of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAccessories and Grilles: Shaping the Signature Without \"Tinkering\" the Signal\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the strengths of the 4006A lies in its \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic modification accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e, including \u003cstrong\u003e3 interchangeable grilles\u003c\/strong\u003e and a windscreen. These elements allow adapting the microphone's behavior to the situation (distance, desired spectral balance, perception of high frequencies), while remaining within an acoustic logic. Unlike electrical filter processing, this approach avoids introducing unwanted issues such as phase shifts, noise, or distortion, which is particularly appreciated in stereo recordings and highly dynamic sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRecording Tools: Low-Cut Filter and High-Boost\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo quickly refine the capture depending on placement and room, the 4006A offers a switchable \u003cstrong\u003elow-cut filter\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Boost\u003c\/strong\u003e mode. The low-cut helps control vibrations, handling noise, or bass buildup related to the environment, while the High-Boost adds extra presence in certain configurations, especially when the recording distance increases or when enhancing the sense of detail is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e10 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eomnidirectional\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone preamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMMP-A\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMMC4006\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e147 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e48V Phantom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003elow-cut filter and High-Boost\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e170 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e16-19 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e163 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ein Denmark\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360344494355,"sku":"210382","price":4598.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/94eeebe1bb0f0bc369991723d66667709f833158_1DPA_ST4006A.jpg?v=1788186450","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/dpa-st4006a-210382","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
