Description

The new DPA 5100 is an exceptional mobile surround microphone whose compact dimensions and ease of use do not come at the expense of its breathtaking sound quality. The versatile 5100 is ideal for creating immersive surround atmospheres for HDTV productions and requires no additional signal processing. It is installed on a camera or microphone stand, flown or simply held over a handle. The microphone is extremely light and mobile and surprisingly robust, so that it can easily withstand harsh weather conditions. A completely self-contained plug-and-play solution for 5.1 recording, the 5100 uses five miniature pressure receivers that are extremely insensitive to wind and mechanical noise while maintaining low distortion, highly consistent low frequency response and enormous dynamic range exhibit. The required channel separation and directional effect is achieved through a combination of the proprietary DPA technology DiPMic (Directional Pressure Microphone), which works with interference tubes on the L/C/R capsules, and the use of acoustic 'baffles' which ensure correct level ratios between the discrete analog outputs. The 5100 's three front microphones are arranged coincidentally in time to eliminate comb filter effects and ensure superior frequency response consistency when downmixing to stereo or mono. The rear microphones with standard omnidirectional characteristics, on the other hand, are arranged at an optimal distance from one another and from the front microphones in order to simulate particularly natural runtime differences. The LFE channel (.1) is formed from an L/R summation, which is then attenuated by 10 dB compared to the signal of the main channels according to the 5.1 format. As a result, DPA's innovative development approach achieves a rich, even and fully enveloping surround atmosphere that sets standards in coherence, channel separation and localization. The 5.1 output of the 5100 is on a multipin connector that carries all six channels in an electronically balanced form. A five-meter-long multicore cable supplied ends in six XLR-M connectors. If necessary, the center channel can be replaced with an external shotgun or lavalier microphone, which is connected via a built-in XLR-F socket - a particularly useful advantage for interviews and documentaries.

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.
