DPA Microphones 4006

The high sensitivity and low noise floor of the 4003 makes it the perfect choice for all professional recordings. The 4003 is acoustically identical with the studio standard 4006, but differs in the powering system. The high-voltage system enables the 4003 to handle around 10dB higher SPLs than the 4006. The impressive dynamic range of the 4003, together with its wide range of acoustic pressure equalisers and protection grids, puts the 4003 in the top league of studio quality microphones.

Requires HMA4000 2-channel high-voltage mic amplifier.
