DPA 2015 Microphone

The wide cardioid pattern offers a broader pickup area than a standard cardioid, which helps capture a more natural, cohesive sound from large sources like a grand piano or a drum kit. It provides enough off-axis rejection to keep your recording focused while ensuring the entire instrument is captured without sounding thin or isolated.
