For instrument groups with complex radiation patterns, the wide cardioid design (also known as hemispheric, subcardioid or hypocardioid) covers a greater sound angle. Its compact design makes it an unobtrusive solution for live stage placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe 2015 has a wide cardioid capsule with DPA's famously flat off-axis response. Besides a high gain-before-feedback, this makes it easier to handle bleed from other instruments at close proximity, and it picks up off-axis sounds in a very natural, attenuated way. It can be positioned near the drum kit, closer than overhead microphones are normally placed, and still capture sound evenly across the entire kit; the closer position gives a stronger signal and less bleed from the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe 2015 is built to withstand rough handling on a hectic live stage: a thicker, more robust brass body that is very durable and known for its corrosion resistance and tolerance against metal fatigue, with the handle and grille surfaces treated with a protective black chrome finish for more graceful ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd
