Description
These mics are acclaimed for their close-miking excellence and hi-SPL handling. Optimized for onstage use, it has been used on many stages as well as recording sessions. They exhibit a previously unheard blend of clarity, richness and dynamic range. The off-axis response is linear but in a smaller frequency bandwidth. This makes stage separation and gain-to-feedback higher. The mic level is easier to control.
This complete stereo pair contains two handpicked 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphones, selected on sensitivity within ±1.5 dB. These mics make several stereo principles like XY and ORTF easy to obtain. The pair contains mics, windscreens and clips all packaged in a Peli™ Case.
Features:
- Modularity – interchangable capsules and preamplifiers
- Up to 120 dB dynamic range
- RF rejection between 60 and 40 dB
- Linear frequency response
- High SPL
- Superior gain before feedback
The 2006 Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Microphone
Inside the MMC2006 Twin Diaphragm Omnidirectional Capsule, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth.
The capsules are loaded to DPA's supreme recording mic series preamplifiers instead of the tiny miniature FET ones. This gives the sound more air and precision.
Comparisons with its big brother, the iconic 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone, are inevitable. The relationship between the two can be clearly heard. The 2000 series performs as well as more exclusive microphones. It is a premium-class microphone and redefines the term value for money.
