DPA Presents d:dicate™ Recording Microphone At AES

DPA Microphones has presented its d:dicate™ Recording Microphone at the 135th International AES Convention (Booth 2551) for the first time.
The d:dicate range includes DPA’s new modular MMC4018 Supercardioid Capsule, the counterpart to the MMC4018V capsule used in the company’s new d:facto™ Vocal Microphone.
d:dicate is also comprised of the MMC4007 High-SPL Omnidirectional Capsule, a modular version of the company’s 4007 microphone.
"Widely used for measurement purposes, this capsule has an unbeatable dynamic range and can handle extremely high sound pressure levels," a statement from DPA said.
"Both capsules are entirely compatible with other d:dicate preamplifiers and are ideal for capturing sound from percussion and brass instruments, as well as for audio measurement purposes."
Rounding out the d:dicate line are microphones from the DPA Reference Standard series, which has been absorbed into the d:dicate range.
These include the modular 4000 and 2000 Series, which are manufactured to perform within very narrow tolerances and offer exceptional linear frequency responses, high SPL and superior gain before feedback.
Included in the d:dicate range are a variety of 4000 Series capsules, including the new 4018 Supercardioid, 4017 Shotgun, 4015 Wide Cardioid, 4011 Cardioid and 4006 Omnidirectional.
2000 Series Microphones that are in the line consist of two twin diaphragm capsules - the 2011 Cardioid and the 2006 Omnidirectional.
Both of these microphones are rooted in the design technology of DPA’s classic miniature capsules. All of the former Reference Standard capsules can be combined with the company’s state-of-the-art preamps, including the A, which is transformerless; the B, a low cut and high boost filter version; and the compact C option for discreet miking.
"Our new d:dicate Recording Microphone range gives customers the ultimate in flexibility," says Christian Poulsen, CEO of DPA Microphones.
"Each microphone in the range can easily be transformed into a new variant simply by choosing a different capsule or preamplifier. Customers will also find that owning several capsules is more cost-effective than purchasing a completely new microphone. By gathering these microphones into a specific group known as d:dicate Recording Microphones, the solutions now join our other established product groups: d:fine™ Headset Microphones, d:vote™ 4099 Instrument Microphones and d:facto™ Vocal Microphones."
