DPA Microphones’ new compact 2012 Cardioid and 2015 Cardioid Microphones feature a durable, reinforced construction to withstand the rigors of touring. The new mics join the brand’s line of pencil mics and offer DPA’s natural and precise sound reproduction. The 2012 Compact Cardioid Microphone acts as a generalist pencil mic that performs well on any instrument and combines a robust design with an intricate sound pickup for accurate close miking on any stage setup. The 2015 Compact Wide Cardioid Microphone performs best as a stereo pair on drum kits and instrument groups. Featuring uniform, wide cardioid directionality and a linear frequency response, a selected pair of 2015 mics offers spacious sound for horn groups, vibraphones, xylophones and other large instruments.
