Description

The Type 4006 is without doubt the most popular standard microphone in the Series 4000 microphones and has earned a status as being the worldwide studio standard since its release in 1982. It is an omnidirectional condenser microphone with an extremely linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, high sensitivity and a low noise floor. The 4006 is phantom powered (P48), which together with the extended range of acoustic pressure equalizers and different protection grids turns the 4006 into an extremely cost effective solution. All in all the Type 4006 can be changed into 7 different microphone versions acoustically. The 4006 has gained its reputation through its total transparency in both the near-field and in the diffuse field. A must for any studio. Wherever a small, lightweight, inconspicuous microphone for top-quality recording is required, the compact design and clean, transparent sound of our versatile 4006C makes it the perfect choice. They are particularly popular as AB stereo pairs in concert halls where quality recordings can sometimes be compromised by classic architecture. The 4006C can be mounted, hung or concealed to create clean, transparent recordings. It is ideal in theaters, opera and concert halls or places of worship where there is a live audience, and for film applications, both in the studio and on location. These mics are also popular with musicians for close-miking instruments such as double bass, trumpet and piano. At the same time they are wonderful for ambience miking on soundstages, in sports stadiums and other environments where audience sound needs to be recorded. The 4006 can be upgraded to a transformerless version, 4006-TL. The upgrade includes a factory-based retrofitting to the DPA 4006-TL with transformerless preamplifier, close-miking grid, DPA 4006-TL type ring, calibration chart and new mic case.

Unparalleled accuracy Close your eyes and listen. From the subtlest nuances of a solo violin or vocalist to the thunderous intensity of a full brass section or drum kit, it's all there, spectacularly pure and uncolored. The sound is so crisp and detailed that you begin to create a mental picture of what the recording environment looked like. The microphones responsible? DPA, of course. From B&K to DPA Although DPA has technically only been in existence since 1992, our company draws on more than five decades of world-class microphone design experience going back to the first range of measurement microphones created by our progenitor, Brüel & Kjær, in the 1950s. Rapid growth and rabid fans Over the past 16 years, we have expanded from a tiny initial staff of only two people to well over 100 and are now represented by professional audio distributors and dealers in more than 40 countries around the world. In the past five years alone, we have experienced an average annual growth of 25 percent, and, in 2007, were presented with the prestigious King Frederik IX's award for outstanding contribution to Danish export. What's our secret? The reason for our success is simple: DPA's ultimate goal is to provide you - whether you're in live sound, recording, theater or broadcast - with the absolute finest possible microphone solutions for your tasks. We take no shortcuts in our design processes nor make any compromises in our manufacturing, which is all done in Denmark. As a result, our products are globally praised for their exceptional clarity and transparency, superb specifications, supreme reliability and, above all, pure, uncolored and undistorted sound.
