Twin Diaphragm Capsule technology
The overall distinctive
sound image from the DPA miniatures is so well
balanced that it meets the high demands of the DPA Reference Standard league.
In an MMC2006
capsule two opposite facing miniature capsules are custom re-built into a double
diaphragm, one-
capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules (fast impulse response and large
frequency bandwidth) with lower inherent
noise achieved from a larger
diaphragm area.
The capsules are loaded to the supreme Reference Standard preamps instead of the tiny miniature
FET preamp from the miniature mics, offering even more air and precision.
Comparison with its big brother, the iconic 4006, is inevitable. The relationship between the two is clearly heard; the 2000 series simply performs like much more exclusive microphones from the premium class and redefines the term value for money.
Modular upgradability
The MMC2006
capsule is part of the flexible DPA Reference Standard series. The
2006A with the
MMP-A preamplifier is the audiophile's choice with low distortion and total accurate and faithful
sound, where the
2006C MMP-C compact
preamplifier offers a subtle character alteration with a
bit more "body" to the low end - in addition to its easier-to-position approach.
