Presentation
The DPA 2012 is designed to withstand the harsh handling of lively stages. Its brass construction, known for its resistance to metal fatigue, and its black chrome finish ensure optimum protection against external aggressions. This microphone is ideal for instruments generating high-pitched sounds thanks to its exceptional transient response, far surpassing the performance of dynamic microphones.
The DPA 2012 offers a uniform cardioid directionality with a flat off-axis response, allowing easy management of ambient noise. This translates into high resistance to feedback and capture of peripheral sounds in a natural and attenuated manner. Sound engineers will appreciate its flexibility, especially in complex stage configurations.
