The phantom powered DPA 4015A wide cardioid differs in its polar pattern and is the perfect fill-in between an omni and a more directional microphone. Sometimes a conventional cardioid pattern just isn't quite open enough, such as when recording instruments with complex radiation patterns. In those instances, the generous polar pattern of our Compact Wide Cardioids allows you to pick up a broader sound field and more accurately capture the full breadth of a stirring performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimitless applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecording 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompletely linear, even off-axis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe off-axis characteristics of the 4015A 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialists in extreme sound levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDPA's wide cardioid microphones are capable of handling extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping occurs. The 4015A even includes a 20 dB pad switch in the center of the XLR connector to prevent overloading of the mic amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso available as matched stereo pair and surround kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ST4015A stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM Case, the stereo matching is free of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SU4015A Surround Kit is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM Case, the surround matching is free of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow profile - wide pickup area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional ambience pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional for vocal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional characteristics: Wide cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple of operation: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type: Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range, +\/- 2 dB: 40 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity, nominal +\/- 2 dB at 1 kHz: 10 mV\/Pa; -40 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, A-weighted: Typ. 18 dB(A) re. 20 Pa (max. 20 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4: Typ. 25 dB (correct with the attenuator in 0 dB or -20 dB setting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N ratio (A-weighted), re. 1 kHz at 1 Pa (94 dB SPL): Typ. 76 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD): \u0026lt; 1 % up to 139 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum load impedance: 2 kohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: Typ. 121 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
