Standard : 4015

Wide Cardioid, P48

4015The 4015's polar pattern is a wide cardioid (also known as hemisphere), attenuating less to the sides and back than a traditional first order cardioid. It is designed with a linear on-axis frequency response from 40 Hz (±2 dB) to 20 kHz (+3/-2 dB) at 60 cm, with a soft high frequency lift from 10 to 15 kHz of max. 3 dB.

Giving supreme accuracy, definition and resolution - as the legendary 4011 series - the 4015 will offer you natural sounding recordings. If an omni is too ambient and a cardioid is too narrow, the 4015 will be a perfect fill-in. Finally, the 4015 has a richer bass response than the 4011 and will therefore serve you well both in close-up work as well as diffuse field tasks.

Type 4015 is phantom powered (P48), transformerless and can handle 158 dB SPL peak before clipping occurs.

Recording vocals, supporting sections of an orchestra, miking a conference panel, a percussion set-up or a grand piano is successfully done with a few DPA 4015s. These are just a few examples of applications that will please the 4015 owner.
