The versatile DPA 4006A is undoubtedly the most popular microphone in the Standard series, having rightfully earned its status as the global recording standard. It offers complete transparency in any situation, with incredibly detailed and deep sound reproduction. The high-frequency response across a wide range of instruments is undeniably impressive for the vast majority of recording applications.
With the 4006A, music sound engineers, broadcasters, and musicians can reproduce sound with extreme naturalness and great precision in all kinds of applications: ideal for stereo A-B recording of symphony orchestras in concert halls, the 4006A also excels on vocals and close-miking instruments such as grand piano, guitar, double bass, and percussion.
With its acoustic modification accessories, three interchangeable grills, and its capsule, it is possible to acoustically transform the 4006C into four different versions, making it an extremely versatile and cost-effective solution. Moreover, these grills and different elements, unlike using an electronic filter, do not introduce phase issues, noise, or distortion.
