The ST4015C Stereo Pair with 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Microphones from DPA consists of two matched 4015C Wide Cardioid Microphones, two holders, two windscreens, and a Peli Carrying Case. The microphones are matched within ±1 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity to provide accurate sonic reproduction. The wide cardioid patterns provide the open quality of an omnidirectional mic with the directionality of a cardioid polar pattern. This combination allows the 4015Cs to be used with choirs, percussion setups, pianos, wind instruments, and as spot mics in classical recordings.

Description
The wide and versatile d:dicate™ Microphone series is legendary in the high-end recording and film production industry. Delivering clean, accurate sound, the mics in this series are used by professionals, who understand sound and insist on only using the best.
4015 Wide Cardioid Stereo Pair
A complete Stereo Pair with two carefully factory-matched d:dicate™ 4015 Wide Cardioid Microphones. Even though the standard tolerances on d:dicate™ series are extremely low, a stereo match is even closer. These mics are matched within ±1 dB on both frequency response and sensitivity. The pair comes with two 4015 mics, clips and windscreens in a Peli™ Case.
The d:dicate™ 4015 Wide Cardioid Microphone
The off-axis characteristics of the MMC4015 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule are totally linear, a unique quality when it comes to authentic sound reproduction. Any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, just softly attenuated.
Sometimes a conventional cardioid pattern just isn’t quite open enough. Recording orchestras or other ensembles sometimes requires a compromise between blending in the room reverberation and a more precise localization. When recording instruments with complex radiation patterns, the wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric) design covers a greater sound angle and is an excellent choice. This is the often ideal mic for recording grand piano, guitar, marimba, and percussion, or as a spot mic for groups in a symphony orchestra. Likewise, it is an excellent speech, dubbing, or vocal mic as its enhanced richness on the bass end nicely compliments many voices.
ST4015C Stereo Pair
This pair is similar to the ST4015A Stereo Pair, using the same MMC4015 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule to gain its amazing sound.
Visually discreet, the d:dicate™ 4015C Compact Wide Cardioid Microphone represents an indispensably low-profile solution for audio engineers and set designers alike. Tremendously precise and natural sounding, these mics will certainly exceed expectations when used on choirs, percussion setups, grand pianos, wind instruments and much more.
The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of the microphone/accessory inlays
