DPA ST4015C Matched Stereo Pair, 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Microphones

Product overview

The DPA ST4015C is a stereo pair of 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Microphones: visually discreet spot microphones that fill in between an omni and a cardioid.

The 4015C is an excellent spot microphone as a fill-in between an omni and a cardioid. The compact version is easy to position and, being visually discreet, is a low-profile solution for audio engineers and set designers alike. Tremendously precise and natural sounding, it works on choirs, percussion set-ups, grand pianos, wind instruments and much more.

The off-axis characteristics of the 4015 are totally linear: any leakage from off-axis sources is still a faithful reproduction of those sounds, just softly attenuated. For instruments with complex radiation patterns, the wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric) design covers a greater sound angle.

Like all DPA modular pencil microphones, each capsule can be combined with any DPA pencil microphone preamp.
