Description
The MMC4006 Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule is a linear omnidirectional mic capsule. There is no other mic in the world as lauded as it is.
This microphone offers total transparency in any recording situation. It picks up incredible detail and depth of sound. The definition of its high-frequency characteristics across a wide range of instruments is impressive. It offers natural sound, high sensitivity, low noise-floor and extremely linear frequency response from 10 to 20 kHz (±2 dB).
The MMC4006 Capsule is part of the flexible d:dicate™ Microphone series. The MMC4006A, with the MMP-A preamplifier, is the audiophile’s choice. It provides low distortion and accurate sound. The MMC4006C, with the MMP-C compact preamplifier, offers a subtle character alteration with a bit more 'body' to the low end. The MMC4006C is also easier to position due to its small size.
