The ST2015 from DPA provides sound engineers, producers, and musicians with a stereo pair of versatile wide-cardioid condenser microphones well suited for use on a variety of instruments and built to withstand the rigors of live stage performances. With its ability to handle SPLs up to 147 dB, the 2015 mic can be placed close to instruments when needed or further away to capture more ambient sound. The smooth, uniform wide-cardioid polar pattern offers a consistent response across the entire frequency range, helping to ensure sounds are accurately reproduced with precision and nuance.

Capture the full, rich sound of your kick drum accurately with the 4055 Kick Drum Microphone from DPA. Unlike other bass drum mics that are tailored to emphasize certain frequencies for specific genres, the 4055 aims for a more linear response with only a subtle 6 dB boost in the 10 kHz range. This more sonically neutral approach captures the true sound of the drum, letting you add your own EQ, if necessary, to work within the context of your mix.

The package includes the UA0961 microphone holder, and the asymmetrical design makes it easy to place the mic inside or outside of the kick drum. Slide the mic into the bass drum for more attack or place it just outside the hole for maximum subs and bottom-end. The linear on- and off-axis response provide a round yet tight sound with extended low end and detailed mid and high frequencies. Robust housing protects the mic from even the most aggressive performers, while wind-damping foam behind the capsule protects the microphone element and keeps excess air noise in check.

The Core 4099 Instrument Microphone, Extreme SPL, with Clip for Drum from DPA is designed to capture audio from your instrument for live sound and recording applications. The clip for drum mount can be adjusted by one hand and is optimized to attach itself gently to your instrument to prevent damage and marks.

The Core 4099 has a pre-polarized condenser capsule with a supercardioid polar pattern. Its gooseneck allows for a variety of positioning possibilities. The microphone terminates with a 5.5" gooseneck and a MicroDot connector. It includes a cable and an XLR adapter providing compatibility with mixers and sound reinforcement systems.
