Description
The DPA 5006A is a surround microphone kit containing five factory-matched DPA 4006A omnidirectional condenser microphones supplied with clips, windscreens, and grids in a Peli carrying case. The 4006A capsules are pre-polarized condensers with an omnidirectional pattern and a linear frequency response of 10 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB). The five microphones are matched to within ±0.5 dB in both frequency response and sensitivity so they can be used together in multichannel and surround arrays. Each microphone uses an XLR-3M output and requires 48 V phantom power.
