Recording orchestras and other ensembles can call for a balance between blending in the room reverberation and more precise localisation, and for instruments with complex radiation patterns the wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric) design covers a greater sound angle. The off-axis characteristics are totally linear, so any leakage from off-axis sources is still a faithful reproduction of those sounds, just softly attenuated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIt is the ideal microphone for grand piano, guitar, marimba and percussion, as a spot microphone for groups in a symphony orchestra, and as a speech, dubbing or vocal microphone whose enhanced richness in the bass complements many voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e4015A\u003c\/strong\u003e suits acoustic instruments and voices with a rich and open sound, handles extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping and includes a 20 dB pad switch in the centre of the XLR connector to prevent overloading of the microphone amplifier. The \u003cstrong\u003e4015C\u003c\/strong\u003e compact version is an excellent spot microphone, easy to position and visually discreet, for choirs, percussion set-ups, grand pianos, wind instruments and much more.
