DPA 2015 Microphone

A wide cardioid pattern captures a broader angle of sound, which is ideal for recording ensembles or drum overheads where you want to capture more of the room and the surrounding instruments without the narrow focus of a traditional cardioid mic.

Yes, the microphone is built to handle high sound pressure levels up to 150 dB, making it well-suited for capturing drum kits and other high-impact instruments without distortion.

Yes, this is an electret condenser microphone that requires standard 48V phantom power provided through an XLR connection from your interface or mixing console.

The matched stereo pair is factory-selected to ensure the two microphones have identical sensitivity and frequency response. This is highly recommended for stereo recording applications, such as drum overheads or orchestral miking, to maintain a balanced and accurate stereo image.

The small form factor allows for unobtrusive placement in tight spaces, such as between cymbals or within crowded instrument groups, where larger microphones might be difficult to position.

The 2015 features uniform off-axis attenuation, meaning that sounds coming from the sides and rear are reduced naturally without significant coloration. This helps maintain a clean, precise sound even when there is bleed from other instruments in the room.
