Enhanced Sound Field Coverage
The DPA ST4015A offers a wide cardioid design that captures a broader sound angle, ideal for recording complex instruments and performances, ensuring detailed and expansive audio capture.
The DPA ST4015A Stereo Pair for live and studio miking, giving you the best stereo field recordings possible. The ST4015A wide cardioid mics is the perfect fill-in between an omni and a more directional microphones. 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 the Compact Wide Cardioids allows you to pick up a broader sound field and more accurately capture the full breadth of a stirring performance.
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.
The off-axis characteristics of the DPA ST4015A 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.
DPA's wide cardioid microphones are capable of handling extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping occurs. The ST4015A even includes a 20 dB pad switch in the centre of the XLR connector to prevent overloading of the mic amp.
