The DNA

of DPA At DPA, we’re dedicated to perfecting the first link in the signal chain: the microphone. Many would argue that this is the most important stage in the recording chain; the exact point at which sound waves meet electronics.

Since our inception in 1992, our team of engineers and craftsmen has brought together exceptional audio expertise and painstakingly accurate manufacturing techniques, learned through many decades of experience creating world-leading measurement microphone technology.

Today, we stand by our promise to innovate for the ever-evolving audio world. We work tirelessly combining accurate acoustic measurement with microscopic precision to produce our unique breed of microphones, for people who care passionately about great sound.

DPA Quality: Made in Denmark Every DPA microphone is assembled by skillful hands in our purpose-built factory in Denmark.

Througout the production process, before final approval, every micro-

phone is calibrated up to 15 times.

Known worldwide as an industry standard for professional recording, d:dicate™ mics offer amazing sound quality in virtually any situation.

RECORDING MICROPHONES

DPA’s legacy is embodied in the quality and versatility of the new d:dicate™ recording microphone range.

The d:dicate™ range has modular capsules and preamps that give you total control over your environment.

The transformerless design ensures extremely low noise and unparalelled off-axis response with capsules ranging from omnidirectional right through to super-cardioid and shotgun.

Combining any d:dicate™ capsule with any of the preamps gives you the characteristic high SPL handling, great dynamic range and linear frequency response that DPA mics are known for, in a format ideal for any recording situation. Now the ‘2000’ series adds a new affordable tier to the range.

Engineered for second-to-none sound DPA’s d:dicate™ capsule and preamp design promises linearity, low noise and low distortion with a huge dynamic range, making these mics perfect for the studio environment. The capsules and preamps are all interchangeable so you can mix and match to create the exact mic you need for any task.

The right accessory for the job: A wide range of accessories is available, including various mic mounts, capsule grids and acoustic pressure nose cones and spheres.

Changing the grid on the 4006A Omni gives the option to maintain flat frequency response in closemiking or diffuse-field situations.

The host of clips and mounting options for mono- and stereo miking configurations will make the process infinitely smoother.

VOCAL MICROPHONES

The d:facto™ Vocal mic has a studio condenser capsule from the d:dicate range behind an ingenious pop-filter.

The d:facto™ 4018V supercardioid capsule is designed to reproduce every nuance of the voice clearly and consistently. Ideal for use in live recording situations, d:facto™ Vocal offers natural sound, amazing separation from nearby sound sources and high SPL handling of up to 160 dB.

Underneath the d:facto’s grid, the capsule is modular, so swop it with any other capsules in the d:dicate™ range to suit your environment.

Whether live or in studio, the d:facto™ vocal mic will deliver beautiful vocal recordings with unsurpassed clarity.

Studio Quality VIP Capsule The d:facto™ Vocal mic’s capsule is a studio condenser capsule that’s been optimised to augment the human vocal range.

You can remove the capsule and replace it with any other d:facto™ or d:dicate™ capsule if you need a different polar pattern for your recording environment.

And, if you decide to go wireless, you can just switch to a d:facto™ adapter for wireless at a quarter of the cost of a new microphone.

Royal seal of approval “The d:facto™ Vocal Microphone is genius. Even in a small club I can get it as loud as most dynamic mics without hideous feedback, but the sound quality and intelligibility is still there.” ~ Phil Jones, FOH engineer, Royal Blood.

Shock and pop protection It can be quite a challenge to give a vocal mic enough protection against plosive consonants like k, p and f without adding too much high-frequency damping at the same time.

We have developed a three-way pop protection system, which is easy to remove, split and clean after use. The d:facto™ Vocal mic also features a built-in shock rejecting rubber ring close to the mic head, which suppresses unwanted handling noise.
