Expand your horizon with a wider pattern

If you are already a DPA 4011 devotee, you will discover an exciting

alternative in our wide cardioid microphones. The DPA 4015C wide

cardioid differs in its polar pattern and is the perfect fill-in between an

omni and a more directional microphone. Sometimes a conventional

cardioid pattern just isn’t quite open enough, such as when recording

instruments with complex radiation patterns. In those instances, the

generous polar pattern of our Compact Wide Cardioids allows you to

pick up a broader sound field and more accurately capture the full

breadth of a stirring performance.

Limitless applications

Recording orchestras or other ensembles sometimes requires a

compromise between blending in the room reverberation and a more

precise localization. The wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric)

design covers a greater sound angle and is an excellent choice for grand

piano, guitar, marimba, and percussion, or as a spot mic for groups in a

symphony orchestra. Likewise, it is an excellent speech, dubbing, or

vocal mic as its enhanced richness on the bass end nicely compliments

many voices.

Completely linear, even off-axis

The off-axis characteristics of the 4015C are totally linear, a unique

quality when it comes to authentic sound reproduction. Any leakage that

occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these

sounds, just softly attenuated.

Small, yet wide

Visually discreet, the 4015C Wide Cardioids represent an indispensably

low-profile solution for audio engineers and set designers alike.

Tremendously precise and natural sounding, the Compact Wide

Cardioids will certainly exceed expectations when used on choirs,

percussion setups, grand pianos, wind instruments, and much more.

Also available as matched stereo pair

The ST4015C stereo pair is supplied in a specially designed PeliTM

Case, the stereo matching is free of charge.
