DPA Launches Transformerless Version of Classic 4006
Since its launch over two decades ago, the DPA 4006 omnidirectional condenser microphone has established itself as an industry-standard. Now the Danish manufacturer has released the 4006-TL, which builds on the characteristics and qualities of the original while being equipped with a state-of-the-art, transformerless preamplifier and a standard 48 V phantom power supply to achieve an even cleaner sound and increased sensitivity.
The 4006 is one of DPA¹s most classic and popular microphones, not just in recording studios where it has become a cost-effective, international reference, but also for broadcast engineers, musicians and live sound technicians worldwide, thanks to its precise, detailed and natural reproduction and transparent sound quality.
The transformerless design of the 4006-TL removes the risk of saturation at high levels of low frequencies, giving an extended low-frequency handling capability (10 Hz to 20 kHz ±2 dB). All components are carefully selected to provide optimal neutral timbre, relaxed purity, tight and focused imaging and extremely low distortion even at very high sound pressure levels and at complex passages in the music.
"The 4006-TL is a natural extension of our product line, driven by market demand," says Morten Stove, CEO of DPA Microphones. "The precise reproduction, total transparency and natural-sounding clarity of the 4006-TL make it an invaluable addition to the DPA range, and one which will provide users with a lifetime of satisfying listening."
The applications of 4006-TL are numerous, and include AB stereo pairing for symphonic concert hall recordings, close miking on instruments such as grand piano, guitar, double bass and percussion, and speech and vocal applications. Seven different frequency responses and directional characteristics can be gained from just one 4006-TL by using the acoustic modification accessories. The sound field can be influenced acoustically by simply changing a grid or mounting an element over the capsule, without any phase shift, noise or distortion that an electrical filter would introduce.
