DPA 5006-11A

A complete surround kit combining three d:dicate™ 4006A Omnidirectional Microphones and two d:dicate™ 4011A Cardioid Microphones, carefully factory-matched to achieve full precision.

Even though the standard tolerances on the d:dicate™ Microphone Series are extremely low, the surround match is even closer.

The specially-selected d:dicate™ 4006A Omnidirectional Microphones are matched within ±0.5 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity. The d:dicate™ 4011A Cardioid Microphones are matched within ±1 dB.

The natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and extremely linear frequency response from 10 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) of the microphones make the d:dicate™ 4006A Omnidirectional Microphones the perfect choice for all AB Stereo, Decca Tree or surround main array recordings. The precise reproduction, total transparency and natural-sounding clarity of d:dicate™ 4006A Omnidirectional Microphones will provide you with a lifetime of satisfying listening.

The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of microphone/accessory inlays.
