The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide range of instruments is impressive. It offers natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and linear frequency response from 10 to 20 kHz (±2 dB).

This mic is linear and true in character. It has earned its status as a worldwide recording standard and is the most popular mic in DPA's Recording Microphone Series. This highly sought after mic has forged its enviable reputation over the past quarter of a century by repeatedly exhibiting its total transparency in any recording situation.

COMBINE WITH THE PREAMP OF YOUR CHOICE

As with all of the modular recording microphones, you can combine the 4006 Omni Mic Capsule with any of the preamps.

The MMP-A Microphone Preamp is an ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing.

The MMP-C Compact Microphone Preamp is an ultra-compact preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps in the Recording Microphone Series.

Other preamps include the very small form factor types MMP-E Modular Active Cable (XLR output) and MMP-G Modular Active Cable (MicroDot output), allowing for very slim set-ups. The MMP-G even allows you to match a larger microphone directly to a wireless transmitter.

4006A
Omni Microphone

This is a very flexible solution. Engineers, broadcasters and musicians alike can achieve clean, natural and precise sound reproduction. This mic is ideal for A-B stereo pairs for symphonic concert hall recordings. It also excels on vocals, for close miking all types of instruments.

A wide selection of accessories is available, including acoustic pressure equalizers, a nose cone and interchangeable protection grids. These accessories can acoustically transform the mic. By changing grids, it is possible to gain several unique frequency responses and directional characteristics. Furthermore, these accessories will not produce any phase shift, noise or distortion that would otherwise be introduced by an electrical filter. These accessories are available in the Stereo Kits and Surround Kits.

The 4006A and 4006C are also available as matched stereo pairs.

4006C
Compact Omni Microphone

Whenever a small, lightweight and inconspicuous microphone for top-quality recording is required, the 4006C Compact Omni Mic is the perfect choice. The mic design is compact and clean.

This is a very versatile recording microphone. It is popular as an A-B stereo pair in concert halls where quality recordings can sometimes be compromised by classic architecture. The mic can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean, transparent recordings.

It is ideal for use in theatres, opera houses, concert halls and houses of worship – anywhere there is a live audience. It can also be for film recordings, both in the studio and on location. Musicians like to use this mic to close mic some instruments, such as the double bass, trumpet and piano. At the same time, they are fantastic for ambience miking on soundstages, in sports stadiums and other environments where audience sound needs to be recorded.
